Hi William, In Europe there have been issues with the move to electronic invoicing. Some countries still require a signed document (paper invoice) for tax purposes. Others (like Germany) have implemented the monthly report as Jeff noted in his email. The Tax authorities need the paper trail to make sure they are getting their share.
The solution I was referring to is one that is compliant with the electronic invoice guidelines. Europe is not my territory and I've asked the experts to provide more info. I will be travelling the next few days and should more details this weekend. Hopefully in time for Thomas to roll his pants down and avoid any sunburn. :-) Best Regards, James Hatcher At 11:21 PM 8/16/2005, William J.
