TonyP, let me first apologize and then explain something weird about this issue.
The first advice you gave was spot on and the problem has been corrected.
Here's the weird part, there appears to be something wrong with my home computer because no matter how many times I tried your advice my computer simply would not show any Past Events?
I was at my work yesterday and used my workstation there and first try the matter resolved itself just as you indicated. Both PCs run Chrome and Windows 8 so I'm not sure what's going on there but at least I know what to do if it happens again. Thanks, John
