Agreed, and if it wasn't actually one of those stupid laws that some lawyer somewhere created when they had nothing better to do, it would probably be an option within Optigold. I would say (and have in the past) that if you prorate customers to all expire on a single date, prorate them to anything between the 1st and 28th of the month, and avoid prorating customers to the 29th thru 31st. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
