I did it again:

That too fails.

Seeing the link's instruction:

Quote:

replacing the document path and inserting '\\..\\' or '/ /'

differs from your '/../' above, and looks wrong at '/ /', I tried '\\..\\':

That too fails.

Yet:

succeeds, confirming the issue is still specific to [.

Have you succeeding in getting your solution to work?

Thanks.
