No apologies are necessary. Glad you got it fixed.
Never assume and never overlook something. That something is what will be
the problem. ;-)
"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)
However, when somebody skips a step, for whatever fix, it does make it a
little tough for whoever is trying to help when they assume that someone has
already done all of that (whatever) and they are baffled at why whatever fix
didn't work.
Keep having fun.
