No disrespect intended (if I was dissing you, you would know), but quite
honestly I did not expect a reply from you. Again I asked Shawn on last
Friday to call me on Monday with what he had found out. I mentioned the
problem on the list in order to bring it to the attention of others users
only after no one called me as requested. If the program is not able to
bill out for services properly I think this should be made known to everyone
using the software.

I appreciate that you acknowledge this issue. I assume though that when you
get a fix for this or an upgrade there will be an announcement? <flame>Oh
wait what am I thinking, you guys _never_ announce when you have a fix for
our problems or a new version.</flame>
Listen, I do like the software, I am used to the interface and I will be
happy once the program does what we expect it to (like bill out for services
correctly). The support just leaves a bit to be desired. Others posts on
this thread seem to confirm the frustration that we have felt.
Must I say how aghast I was when I learned that our years worth of pre-paid
full tech support had been downgraded without anyone telling me? I called
one day (probably with this very issue) only to learn that there was a 24/7
support package that had been created after we had bought the software and
our current support package meant that we would have to wait up to a day for
reply. I was forced to overpay to upgrade to the 24/7 package just to get
someone to call me back in two hours and half the time it seems that doesn't
happen.
Really, I will be a happy customer. I just don't want to loose any more
money from this program. We were assured when we bought the software nine
months ago that it was the finished version (that was 2.5.207) and that we
would not be beta testing it. That is why we spent over six grand on the
package. Yet here I am bringing problems to your attention. Can you
understand my frustration?
