I made a test account and set the expire time to 01 01 2000 which was va very long time ago. Yes my system time/date is correct. I'm able to login with this account even though its expired. What is the expire function supposed to do? I would have hoped it would disable the login account after the account 'expires'. Does anyone know how this works? I have been searching threw mail archives and help pages and very rarely is this mentioned. Does it even work any more? Any ideas appreciated. Please CC me on any replies - i'm not on the mailing list yet. TIA! Holt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
