I just tried it again with a more or less random number and it did not work. Then I came back to your email with the intention of copying the exact number you used, but noticed that you placed a W at the end of your example. I have been using the exact form it appears in on the OL pages. That is, the letters OL followed by a number and then followed by the letter M. I just went back and tried my random number again with a W substituted for the M and it worked just fine. If that will be consistent it is just fine then. However, up until all this migration it worked with an M at the end of the number. I never tried it with a W until now because I did not know about doing it that way.
