BillMax questions -- make_statements re-generating statements?



Hello,
This morning (2005-11-09) the billmax-admin nightly ran 
correctly and generated and sent the statements I expected it to.
Unfortunately, some of the due dates were incorrect.
I solved that and the statement displays with correct data when I look at 
it in the "Billing Functions" of the Billmax interface.
So, having fixed what is in the database, I am trying to re-generate the 
statements.

>From a search on billmax.com, I found doug37@billmax.com answered this 
with:
----------------------------------- 
This can be done as follows:

 	1. Edit billmax/logs/make_statements.state and change the date to
 		the first date to generate the statements.
 	2. Edit billmax/logs/send_statements.state and change the date to
 		the day before make_statements.state
 	3. cd to billmax/statements and
 		rm -rf 2002-05*
 	  this will get rid of any old statements. You may want to tar up 
these
 	  directories first.
 	4. Make the statements
 		billmax/bin/make_statements -s
 	  the "-s" prevents creating a new summary records.
 	5. Send the statements
 		billmax/bin/send_statements -e -f -p
 	  (normal flags as currently specified in billmax.conf).

-------------------------------------

I only want to re-generate statements for 2005-11-09 (today), so I left 
make_statements.state 2005-11-09. 
I set send_statements.state to 2005-11-08.
(closeofday.state is set to 2005-11-09)
I removed the current statements in statements/2005-11-09/*
  Then I ran: make_statements -s 2005-11-09
(-s so it doesn't update payhist)
I get response:
make_statements has already been run for today


If I set make_statements.state to 2005-11-08 and run
make_statements -s 2005-11-09
I get response:
start date '2005-11-09' for re-generating statements must be less than or 
equal to the last processed date

When I run make_statements -s 2005-11-08, it processes statements for 
2005-11-08 just fine, but not for 2005-11-09.

So how do I tell it that I know it already ran 
make_statements for today...I want to run it again?
(which file or database entry)

Thanks!
Curt
