Indeed a question of semantics seen this way.

Absolutely, 100% correct. But then as I was saying, it is pointless for QF 
to have these settings, I can control the times my programs embedding QF 
will run by totally outside means. I can start them at 08:25 so they are 
ready to pile up orders and send them whenever QF settings says they 
should (immediately or later on).  

> Which is something  you have control over.
And which I did not know :-/ As far as I understood, these were two 
"melted" concepts, i.e. session starttime was the logon-time. 

Thanks a lot for this information, and could you please point me to the 
correct settings as far as logon/logout is concerned ? 

TIA
