Of course I assume the procedures are attached to the correct providers. In my office each provider is assigned an operatory in OpenDental, so once the patient is listed in that op, when the appointment is set complete, the production goes to the correct provider.

Thanks Jordan Version 6.9.31. Not sure when that came about, maybe when I setup Perio recall and some non-standard recalls (implant & denture). The first patient had both Perio & Prophy.

Jordan,

In the Images Module, can security permissions be added for the Delete option to prevent (in)advertent deletions? That is, retain the ability to create images and to move them from one category to another, but require permissions to delete them.

Thanks

On running Database Maintenance, I get this message,

"Warning! Number of patients with duplicate recalls: 236. including: .... {names}"

What does duplicate recall mean, and how do I fix it, or do I need to?

Great job Jordan,

Glad it's here. In my opinion, not being able to set future appointments complete is a bug fix, not a bug.

Would it be not too difficult to add the Patient Balance to the mouseover in the Appointment screen? This would make it easier to remind patients of any balance when confirming an appointment without having to click Account.

Nathan Thanks for the prompt reply. I have used IFNULL to 'fix' the same issue in the two queries below as well.

Does not work as is. Fix: Add 'SET' to start of fourth line before "@FromDate='2005-01-01' , @ToDate='2005-12-31';" In addition it does not work properly if the claimproc Table is empty, in that the TotalProduction column is zeroed as is the TotalIncome column, to match the values of $WriteOff and $...

Not working properly on 6.9.21 either, but I realized a workaround is to click "Include Acknowledged" twice (toggle on and then off), so I'm not bothered anymore.

Jordan, This is the updated code. By creating the temp tables, it operates much faster (which is the point) and I have fixed the problem which occurred when the claimproc table was empty (such that TotalProduction and TotalIncome did not sum properly). Yay. $WriteOff is calculated only from insuran...

V Suite

Come to think of it, it may have been the invalid data path due to restoring the data from the office. (I see this was fixed in 6.8.39 and 6.9.22)

6.9.21 is snappy, and I made a change to how the data path is specified to prevent future errors.

Ah, but we don't use State or Zip Code here. Can it be customized to tab sequentially, Address, Address2, City? with a setting to choose which option? In addition, we generally only use the last 7 digits of the phone number, so the current setting with parentheses appearing around the first 3 digits...

Is it possible to customize how Open Dental handles addresses and phone numbers? My practice is in a Caribbean island, we just need to enter Address, Address2, City, not 'State'. When we print 'Recall' labels, the City line prints with a comma at the end, but we have nothing else, so it looks slight...

If I recall, all versions have skipped fields when entering the Patient information in the Patient Module.

Is there some way of checking what is the tab order?

Thank you for your response.

Is it possible to set the recall for all patients to _now_? That way I can easily use the label feature built in to get all patients?

On a separate issue, how can the names in Unscheduled List be sorted for example by name? (currently defaulted to date)?

Thanks.

What should I do to export a list of all patients to Word or OpenOffice please?

Mowgli, How do you do export the data to Open Office for laser labels?

I came across an exception in Appointment module: double-clicking on an appointment triggered an exception when the appointment did not have a provider assigned. I'm not sure how the appointment was set up without a provider (back in version 4.4 possibly, since we just switched to 5.0). I ignored th...

No prob. I'm now looking at CodeBase.ODFileUtils in the current /head, and see that a second 3 argument definition for CombinePaths is there which would fix the problem. I need to redownload OD5.0 source as it should also be there now.

I'm sorry to post this as I'm sure it will be corrected quickly in the current 5.0.x SVN. The solution could not build because of a faulty reference to ODFileUtils.CombinePaths in FormCommunications.cs which tried to combine 3 strings though it can only combine two. This error broke my previous test...
