How can one change the format for the Time Card Periods so that one doesn't have to change 26 periods every year?

For example, our pay periods are the 1st of the month to the 15th, with payday on the 16th, and from the 16th to the end of the month with payday on the 1st.

Cheers!!!

"A-Z Folder: Multiple locations on one virtual database are be able to set the A-Z folder path for each workstation separately."

Can someone give me an example why one would want to implement this feature?

I do not understand what this actually means.

OK, If one can't get an answer one way, there is always another way.

Since none of you answered that you use Trojan, perhaps you can share why you don't use it.

How is it working for you?
Do you use the collection aspect?
What does it cost?
Would you recommend it?

Thanks.

Can someone explain this new Payment screen in v5.3. I can not make heads or tails out of it. The numbers do not make sense on many of my patients.

I would like to try using a tablet PC for patient registration; experiment, if you will. The key words here are "try" and "experiment".

That's more or less what we do now. The problem is that the newly created Current-Other is placed at the top of the Chart. One now must change the date to a new date.

Greetings again, I originally tried to use EasyNotesPro. It was very thorough, but tedious to set up and then apply. Then I went back to manual entry.

I'm still confused. You wrote: "We have a treatment plan for a patient, it includes that following: Implants on 7,9, & 11 Referred for implants.
