So you have 2 June records for each customer then or something?

Well, there isn't a method for a "mass usage" purge... It's assumed that
once it's imported and verified as "good data" that it doesn't need to be
mass deleted.

Plus, a mass-purge routine wouldn't really work that well in this case,
because you have two records that are for the same time period. If you
told Optigold ISP to purge all June usage records, it would wipe both
sets.

Anyway, you can do one of two things... Since I beleive June would be
your first month of usage imported, you can replace your Time_.USR with
an empty table (from the trial installer), and reimport the good set.

Or...

You can email me (privately of course) your Time_.USR file and I'll purge
the first set for you by hand.
