   **** Clarification *****

   I only disabled the import and export reports that *I* wrote.
I did not touch his data or any of his other prc tables. He didn't
pay for my prc tables, so they stopped working. He is right back to
where he was before I came along. He can add data, print data,
delete, change and screw up anything he wants - he just doesn't
have the EDI import and export that I wrote.

   Doing Bad Things(tm) to a customer's data, prc tables, etc.
is VERY ILLEGAL and NEVER recommended.
