So if the workaround was the fix in your mind, why the follow-up
question?  I think the point that's being missed here is that there
was a way Chris found for you to move beyond the problem even without
his fix.  But there was a problem that needed fixing so that the
next person doesn't run into the same thing.  If that makes sense to
you, then you've gotten all you can from this thread.
