Would this be the correct SQL statement to change the send bill check box?
UPDATE SubAccounts
SET SendBill=1

I'm assuming that I would need to check to make sure I only have one sub
account's send bill checked for every master account.

Wait a minute, I thought it was the opposite way. For testing purposes, I
have auto bill enabled on two MBRs. When I select Credit Card and put in
the appropriate date to create invoices, I only come up with 2 services to
bill. I'm assuming it is the two services where I have the auto bill
checked that are getting invoiced.

So how about another SQL statement to update the Auto Bill checkbox. How
would this one work?
UPDATE MasterAccounts
SET CreditCardAutoBill=1
WHERE CreditCardNumber IS NOT NULL

I've tried changing some of the table's default values, but Emerald seems
to have its own defaults. Any way to change that? TIA
