John,

That's interesting. I usually spread current operating costs across
clients,

Likewise. It is a cost of doing business and doesn't rate an extra charge. And a cost that can be used to reduce payments to the collectors of tax.

but what I meant by "online access" was the cost of accessing
online databases, like DIALOG, Lexis/Nexis, Profound, public information
vendor databases, etc. For those databases and others like them, I would
charge a total cost, which includes a planning fee, an online search fee,
and an analysis fee, as out of pocket costs, with % markup on the direct
online search fees.

Makes sense to me.

Basically a research version of "parts and labour".

And like basic internet costs, I expect they are very tax deductible.
