I'll add you when I get to a lan line. For the record (I didn't want
to post this to the general lists) I will be on the road though next
weekend (July 4th). I'll still have Email and try and keep up though.
(I'm 33K feet in the air right now).

The Emerald client doesn't have access to the home dir you are
specifying. Either blank it, or correct the path/permissions.
I'll see about trapping the error better and being more
descriptive about it.

Ther have been a lot of changes to the Incidents (like actions
and types) and its possible that the database isn't up to
par to what the program is expecting. I'll check and make
sure updttabs.sql has the correct additions. Also, make sure
you have selected a type before saving the incident.

Most likele you have an ODBC configuration problem. Check to see
that your Emerald ODBC DSN points to your SQL server and correct
database.

Do you mean the temp/perm extends? How does the account show expired
in Emerald? Do the changes actually save and are visible the next
time you go into the account?

And on-line didn't show him loged any anywhere? Execute this
query and see what the results are:

Select * from Severports
Where username = 'xxxxx'
and acctstatustype = 1

Are all of them doing that or just a select few?
