Very significant find, here. I found the "back door" to TP headquarters...The secret thread where MS, Citi and FDC employees grapple with the development and execution of their finely-honed strategies to develop the best demos of the finest, most fully-featured, yet-to-be developed software imaginable... expert.cc.purdue.edu RK <G>

TLindt.. Here's one to noodle around.. I have an on-line trading account with Fidelity, yet for every transaction I do, I still get a written confirmation of the trade which includes, their envelope @ .254, the statement of the trade,and an unstamped return envelope; occaisionally I'll get a couple of trade confirms in the same envelope, but more often than not I get multiple mailings from one day's trading activity..BTW Schwab does the same thing. Since I operate in a cash account I generally don't have to send additional funds but that would complete the transaction in those cases where additional funds need to be remitted. I assume that "written confirmations" are not a legal requirement as I also maintain an active daytrading account with another firm that faxes my activity overnite.. no written confirms at all..just the faxes and a month end summary.. Question..who out there can/does handle trade confirmations electronically for the industry..ie equities/options/mutual funds/futures ..all types of trades.. I believe that on-line trade processing will be as big or bigger than other forms of e-commerce in terms of the number of completed transactions.. TIA Jim in CT..
