You're probably right on your assumptions, Marilyn. Just letting my imagination run wild - - that she could be making the company 100,000 in this trip.<BR><BR>It happens in some kinds of sales.<BR>

You know, Rex, she might indeed. But I would have given her a prearranged commission or bonus on those sales. Because next year she might only make $10,000 in sales and I wouldn't want to have the precedent of a $9000 expense account. Nobody, ever, wants to stay at a crumbier hotel than they did the year before! :-)

Better yet - - give her &quot;stake&quot;. So that she thinks about where the money comes from, to pay the bills!<BR><BR>No better steward than an owner! Which is what you were saying in the first place!<BR>
