The first paragraph has to do with FORMAL entry, which has nothing to do with REPORTING. These are 2 separate processes. You have confused them. There never was any connection with the 2. REPORTING is not ENTERING or CLEARING. >snip< No, I get it Mike. And I understand the difference. I deal with it all the time. I'm just telling you how it was interpreted around here for years and years. Once you CLEARED you never had to REPORT again. Capt. Bill
