Thanks! That's the first problem solved.

Now, let's talk about the features of the best ticketing systems.

Off the top of my head, in addition to the usual who/what/when/why/where 
I'd like to have:

* Quoted resolution date/time
* Expected resolution date/time
* Duration since start of incident
  * Hours
  * Business Hours
* Duration since last callback
* Historical info for customer
   * Number of incidents
  * Average time tickets were open
  * Average Technician/Engineer time per incident
  * Average cost to repair
  * Duration since last incident

Of course, I'd like management screens:

* Number of tickets open
* Highest duration
* Average duration past 24/48/settable (rolling)
* Tickets over n hours
* Tickets for top 5/50/settable customers

Needless to say, I'll think of a dozen more as soon as I try to use one :-)

TIA.

Bill
