To elaborate a little on Evan's answer. Yes, as he says, you can renew a day or two earlier. I usually count seven days from the time I download or renew. If you renew early, as Evan says, you have to count 7 days from the date of renewal. The next day starts at midnight, pacific daylight time. Since I'm usually up late (I live on the West Coast) I try to renew after midnight. If you live further east, you could do that without staying up so late. smile. As Evan said, if you forget and your book goes back to the download list and it isn't there when you go to look for it (you will get a notice that your time expired), you're not completely hosed--maybe. smile If someone from one of these lists took it and you post that it escaped you by mistake and would like to contiue, the person who took it will usually release it. You'll only have a problem if the person who took it isn not on one of these lists. HTH Cindy - __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
