Making assumptions about data, especially something as important to a business as billing data, is fraught with danger. For all their foibles, the UK's National Programme for IT (the _enormous_ and mostly disastrous IT programme of the NHS) started specifically by defining data formats and open interchange, the idea being that they can chop and change suppliers if necessary. That really should be the starting point here too. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "a skid mark on the bed sheet of Australian politics" - John Howard, as described by Dean Mighell -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
