Trust me. Even for a big shop like mine, it's a momentous task. We are spending a huge amount of money on it. And it's not over yet! But, hopefully, when all is set and done, there will be savings overall due to the increased use of EDI. That's certainly the hope anyway. I'm responsible for all of the transactions covered by the transactions rule. That's a big job! - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
