Don't send HTML to the list, it's not allowed.

To answer you question I have a number I use but found after 30,000 entries
the MS Access format had too many performance problems. If you have decent
usage look at the .MBD file for the user cache and use an SQL server for the
accounting table. Some of the queries I find helpful are

count(*) grouped by the connect information
count(*) grouped by the disconnect reasons
sum(time) grouped by users for a date range.
