    Ok,

    so today its running fine with the quotes and spaces in the filename path 🤔🤔🤔

    I had tried this 4 or 5 times on Monday, editing the path and folder name and to remove spaces and quote (successful run) and then adding them back in again to verify the issue but now there's no problem at all.

     

    Only thing I know that has changed was a windows update during the week, so maybe, or maybe I just dreamt the whole thing😶😶.

     

    Oh the help documentation I found clear enough to follow, was just that the steps didn't work for me at the time.

     

    Thanks
