They are complaining about the total lack of any warning. I guess because they don't want to be forced to change a password on a Friday and likely forget the new password by Monday due to lack of reinforcing use. And they don't want to be forced to remember when to change it themselves. I keep trying to tell them to change it on the first Monday of the month (passwords are good for 35 days here), but for some reason, they just don't. <sigh> Maybe they just want to complain. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
