KenB-LA I have tried that solution, to no avail. My configuration file looks like :

<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
<UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
<EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>False</EnforceCodeStyleInBuild>
</PropertyGroup>

  Yes, and thank you. I am not sure when you posted this.....But I wish I had seen it earlier! I had spent all morning with this, and just posted the solution to Overstack a few hours ago lol. smh.
  
  Strong work though, and I could have saved a lot of time if I was paying attention to my email!
