It was to be handled as a "Nur zur Verrechnung" check -- I didn't get Bargeld (sorry, cash), the money had to be deposited in the account when the check cleared. Of course, I could then go in and withdraw it. Chad chad@norge.dec.com DEC has no opinions! ----------------------------------------------
