Hi Larry,
I wasn't trying to drag you into this... only thanks for all your past help!
(but, now that you're dragged in, thanks, LoL...)
I did your suggestion, and upon deleting it, a request to google then responded "Sorry, i don't understand" (or the likes). So I was excited that this might work!
But, after adding it back in with new alias, it gives the original message again.
So, it still 'seems' to be caught on the device ID, not naming issue.
Fred
