Point and Bill,
 
You are not beating me up at all. In fact I welcome your questions and comments  because it tells me you are interested in learning more about how to best make the program a useful tool for you.
 
 Making available a new truely useful clinical tool is a primary goal in my life. Your questions make me feel I may be succeeding.
 
I think the format you are using is great, not disjointed. Keep it up. I expected a need to respond to your questions. I view your questions as you telling me, in effect, you are here and want to go there using the vehicle I am providing. Sometimes I will be able to tell you that you can do it like this or that. Other times I will have to tell you you can do it like this after I add some new functionality to the program to meet your needs (e.g. backdating encounter dates).  Either way the program useability benefits from your input and I appreciate it.
 
Hope I do not ramble so much as to not make sense. Bill, I will add replies to your questions in a reply to your post.
 
Gene

	Bill and I discussed today that we sometimes feel that we are "beating you up" with all of our comments and problem finding.  Our problem is that we have never been trained how to formally do this, so it almost comes out like a disjointed "stream of consciousness"
	
	Do not take any of this personally, we are just trying to get our ideas and concerns in front of you.
	
	If there is a better format in which to report this, let us know.
	
	Thank you for helping us with the process.
