medication instructions not appearing on history print-outs

Guys
Just finalising our submission to asava for ahc accred and have just noticed that none of the dispensing instructions for medications appear on the history when you print them.
This is a real problem as we have to also send histories to insurers and other vets from time to time.
Why is this so?!?!?!?!!? It's a big problem and can't believe it hasn't been discussed/fixed.

Re: medication instructions not appearing on history print-outs
Hi Garry,
Did some investigation and this is definitely an issue. Previously the label text was included in the medical records description which is what is currently displayed on the Patient medical records template. In 2008 the label text was removed from the description as it was too long and causing errors. The template was never modified to display the label text for medication items.
I will make some changes to the template to fix and post here and also put into the new release. If you have customised the templaet you may need to get your implementer to make the necessary changes.
Cheers Tony
