Thanks BJ,
Understand your sentiment and pointer and yes it is frustrating :)
I was down the path you suggested (comparing stuff that works and my
custom code) before I posted here.
This bring me back to my original question if someone can see something
that is obviously and/or specifically missing (based on the data I
provided and/or the error message) I would like to hear, otherwise I am
debugging away to glory :)
