That way, you don't have to stress and drop everything you're doing, and the customer is aware of lead-time requirements for the next order. Just a thought. :S<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 7 Feb 2007 by HARVEY-ONLY</p> <hr /><a name="a5978_4"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.4">#4</a>]<br /> 7 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: joyce (JLADY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.1">#1</a>] 7 Feb 2007</p> Back up the no rush charge date a day or two. If they come in on the vender's last no rush fee date, you collect the rush fee for yourself. <hr /><a name="a5978_5"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.5">#5</a>]<br /> 7 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Vicky (ANDERI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.3">#3</a>] 7 Feb 2007</p> <p>Wow, your post showed me something about the bugs in the forum software. Your CODE statement showed only a scroll bar, but the text was not visible.</p> <p>You should use the QUOTE instead to avoid this bug. I will edit your post so it shows correctly.</p> <hr /><a name="a5978_6"></a><p><b>From: Vicky (ANDERI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.6">#6</a>]<br /> 7 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5978.5">#5</a>] 7 Feb 2007</p> Funny ... when I looked at it, I could see the text (along with the scroll bar). Must've hit the wrong icon somewhere along the way.
