Thanks for responding. As I said in my original email, I did succeed in upgrading. I was able to resolve the problems I encountered and listed on my original email, including the ones for which you provided suggestions. The steps I took to resolve them are included in the upgrade log I posted to my web site, the URL or which appears in my original email.
