Front office will scan a referral using the epson software for the scanner and saves the pdf to a temp folder, then imports into OD. Often, OD will stop working and close...

Resolved the problem.

Re: File path too long to copy

I will run the scan, but I am in the middle of replacing my server and getting things transferred over. One of the times I tried backing up to the new server, it didn't complete. It will back up the data just fine, but gets the error when trying to include the images.

Re: Laptop or Tablet Kiosk

Dell XPS 18" works pretty good. I don't use it as a kiosk though, just mainly for the assistants to enter chart notes and to show patients pictures. Also have a surface pro that works, but on both, the tooth graphics are not as good. I do not have computers in the individual ops though.

Just use the schedule. It sounds like you are trying to make work for someone to do a report for. Simply look at the schedule and have the front office call and remind everyone a week prior to the appointment. Simple.
