Jeff, Datek's response is that they do not operate on weekends, and access to your account via the Internet is not guaranteed on weekends.

Hey, it could be worse - I got an e-mail from somebody today saying that they were seeing activity in a stock on Saturday, and wondered what the deal was.

Though I don't know it to be the case in this instance, Datek in the past has occasionally done testing on the weekends where they "play" either actual or test "pre-recorded" trades through the quote system.

Of course, sound business practices would dictate that such testing be restricted to internal access only, but then "sound business practices" and "Datek" should probably not be mentioned in the same sentence...
