Many of our clients and customers flushed both A/P and becasue their clients did the same thing, A/R is flushed as well. Cashflow-wise, this was a good thing for us, we have a *bunch* of checks to deposit on Monday, from what are normally slow-pay customers <grin>. We always keep A/P current so the flush wasn't necessary for us<g>. The down side is that most of our vendors also flushed their A/R, so we have "early returns" on a lot of bills <sigh>. Basically, I think that the overall outstanding float went to near-zilch this week-end. This may have an economic impact.

96 hours - covers a four day weekend. Several billing programs will kick in on 03 jan 2000. (as bill burns up a wad-o-checks, practicing the 2000 thing....)
Next 99 hours? I'm more concerned about the first billing cycle.. Afterall, there has to be data to refference before there can be a problem..
Well, here's to a major non-event. Cheers.
Mud in your Eye.
plop,
ditto.
(with the nagging paranoia that the insidious problems will bite in the next 96 hours... :)
