Hi Dale,

Thanks for the reply.

More questions though ... How does Emerald's invoicing system sum up the
login durations for a user ?

If user jake's logins were as follows :

1. Feb 1, 2000 : 30 seconds
2. Feb 2, 2000 : 65 seconds

Would the invoice determine that jake used up 1 minute and 35 seconds ? Or
would it say jake used up 2 minutes ?

If the latter case applies, how can we force Emerald to be accurate down to
the last second ?

If possible, can you furnish me the logic for invoicing ? I can't find any
stored procedure that shows how Emerald computes for the charges and puts
them in the charges table.

Thanks.

- Danny
