You are long enough EE member to know that you should post an answer only if you are 150% sure that your solution is THE solution to the problem. Starting "I hope you can ..." is already a strong indicator that this would not be the case.
I ask you to read our guideline about questions and answers at https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp and give it some thought. Meanwhile I will reject the answer and give it a chance to get more input from other experts.

Thanks
