I have been using OPENVPMS for six months since opening a new clinic. Overall, the experience has been fantastic and I have not had one lost second to software or hardware glitches. I would like to make the following software refinements based upon our experience. 1) When the patient page is selected with a view to selecting another patient's record (alt "t" then alt"l") it would decrease a mouse click of the active focus was within the search box presented. 2) I note that the macro box has been changed to allow the use of carriage returns in the expression of the macro. That is fantastic however it would be most convenient for our practice if the number of characters in the expression box could be increased beyond 300 - to say 3000. More importantly, since the box has been changed - I can no longer get it to function. The macros do not appear in the text once the code is typed and enter is pressed - a bug perhaps. 3) The notes box is limited in characters (2200 I think). If it is easy to expand this then the written notes of emailed pathology reports could be integrated as text rather than pdf and sent easily by fax server. I would think that 3000 characters would be sufficient. 4) On the supplier page there is a conflict with alt "e" - two options - one is to edit it the supplier and one is to open the orders section. It defaults to the orders page. Thanks for considering these points and please let me know if any further information or input is required. Sam
