Well, I have to get this done by Thursday evening, turns out I have to
acknowledge my birthday this year, and I will be busy all day Friday,
and probably stuffed as I have to go out for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. LOL.

How frustrating!! But don't give up yet. Just hold it
until next week when Gustavo gets back, and you -- and
all of us -- can find out what the problem is. Maybe
the site isn't working right today.
Another option, but again I'd wait until next week,
would be to send it as an attachment directly to
Gustavo.
