WebMerchant tries to overcome this limitation of the single-user version by sending a Settle AppleEvent every day. We have noticed some strangeness with single-user, however, in that items charged after 4PM but before midnight seem to show up in the wrong places.To avoid hassles, it's probably better to go with their advice on the multi-user version, unless they say that auto-settlement at 4PM is the only difference. Banks are weird, and I do not profess to know all the policies -- but Tellan should know, because that's their job.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
