Gene&Ginny,
I'm trying to determine what is in error in my post. I agree a GFCI will work without a ground attached to the receptacle. If there is no ground to the receptacle, how does the test button trip the circuit? Answer, the same as a GFCI breaker in a distribution box - no ground attachment there either. I try to be very accurate when posting concerning 120V electrical problems since many members are electrically challenged and bad advice can be dangerous to the less knowledgable. Check your sources.
