    Hi Ditch,

    Try:

    I apologize for not reading what platform you were using. I have no knowledge of 'Google Drive', so I can't help you any further.

    If you don't get an answer today, I suggest you close this thread as solved.

    Then, start a new thread, and make sure you mention that you are using 'Google Drive' in the post. Also make a reference to this post, or the Forum Moderators will yell at you for asking the same question twice.

    I'm glad it worked out for you. I hate to give a wrong answer, and have someone else fix my mess. Now I feel better about the whole thing.
