It has two bound columns. Rather than create a complete different branch
of code for MS Access, its easier to just select the MA expirate twice
(Once for the ma expiredate field and again for the sa expiredate field).
Then RadiusNT treats it just as normal.

Because the masteraccounts expiredate/extend can NOT be null. The
Subaccounts CAN. Therefore, if the subaccounts is NULL, the DateAdd()
in Access blows up. Give it a try. :)

Its much easier to get a single date from the RDBMS, rather than get
three more additional fields from the database, and then add two of
them to one field, and one to another field. There really never should
have been a SubAccounts expiredate date, as several have tried to use
it in a way it wasn't designed to be used.

The DB just returns a date after doing the DateAdd() computation. Yes,
RadiusNT can intepret a date correctly. :) One of the things I want to
add is getting the SQL Server date in the query, and not using the local
clock at all.

Forward the message to me. I'd like to see it.
