Rose's post of a while ago made me tremember that the same thing happened to me when I first started validating. So I thought, for the newbies, I'd mention this: If you count seven *including* the day you download or renew, your book(s) will be renewed and not released. Also, you can renew them a day or two sooner if you want. And you can renew after midnight on day six, which is the 7th day. I usually do that so I have the book longer, though since we can keep on renewing it doesn't really matter much. HTH Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
