>>It should take them two minutes to fix.<< You said it all, and very well. A few years ago I programmed a clinical records application for a mental health facility. Progress notes must be written by each member of the treatment team for each patient periodically, which means that thousands of progress notes are being written at any point in time. I set up a Progress Notes database and all these notes went into it. But, each note knew which patient it belonged to. By pulling a few strings from database fields and doing a little concatenation I could provide report headings for a list of a particular patient's Progress Notes by date, by time, etc. I suspect a similar situation exists here. The 'fix' may be more than a few minutes; and, to get the info from the message database describing each message may take a fraction of a second each time. But with some simple programming the title of each message can be made to represent the message itself, and not some 'canned' statement parked there now by programmers. Next, how do we get them to change the situation?
