MCIS MBS: Billing Event Not Created When Visiting Web Site

ID: Q169780

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0 - Microsoft Membership Server

SYMPTOMS

When a user visits a Web site that has been set up under MCIS Membership Billing to charge a user a fee for accessing that specific HTML page, no warning is displayed to the user that his or her account will be charged if the user continues, and no billing event is created on the system.

CAUSE

When an administrator sets up this feature following the Membership Server documentation, the administrator registers the specific HTML pages that he or she wants to charge for, by using the Pricefile.asp file included with Membership Server. However, the .asp file fails to make an entry for this in the Billdata.txt file, and therefore Membership Server does not bill the user for accessing this page.

RESOLUTION

An updated Pricefile.asp file is available from Microsoft Technical Support to fix this problem. Contact Microsoft Technical Support to obtain this fix.
