Dear colleague,
To study other people undocumented code is one of the most hard and un-motivating activities.
The code was assembled to follow a certain conceptual model that we do not know nothing about. Perhaps some lines are patches to correct bugs and they will be obvious to the programmer but very hard to understand from for the code analyzer.
It is even harder to study code for a proprietary program (commercial or paid for software), because one needs to pay for the software that runs that code.
Just imagine that you provided a colleague with a photography of one of your patients, saying "here you have a patient that I treated with Penicillin for 10 days and is know very well. Here, keep the picture, study it and use it as you see feet".
Well, what was the clinical story? What were the major problems present? What was the diagnostic hypothesis? Why did you choose Penicillin instead of some other AB? What type of Penicillin, via, dosage did you use?
Do you see what the problem is with submitted code?

This is the key: "What I needed as forms during these years"
Without the documentation it will be un-necessarily difficult to know what your needs were, or even why you coded a given macro, or a routine, the way you did.

This is looks very interesting and most certainly could be easily ported to current Care2x code.
Also for those with lesser experience with ms access to look at the> forms in design mode how some things are hidden on the screen and visible when
printed.
As it is MS Access specific, it will be interesting mostly for someone who wants to get locked-in the MS marketing policy.
So I noticed that no one has looked at my program from this list. Because no one subscribed to obgyn_int @yahoogroups.com in recent days.
I do not know if you are aware that yahoo and the yahoogroups are since a time ago owned by Microsoft. Once again, one needs to register at (and enter its private data to a MS owned company) just to grab a copy of your MS Access code. Do you see a pattern here?
Take a look at the articles:
a) "Migrating from Microsoft Access to MySQL" at http://www.kitebird.com/articles/access-migrate.html
b) "How do I... Convert MS Access, MySQL or other databases?" at http://pgadmin.postgresql.org/pgadmin2/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=15
See if you can convert the data structure to MySQL. That is the part that will have the why's and what for's that you choose and understand better than anybody else. The next step will be to go to the Access SQL editing module and export the SQL code. At this point perhaps 80% of the work will be done. You just need to write the algorithm of the macros (why they do a given thing, how and what variables they use, etc.). Finally, the documentation part, try to provide at least a brief description of each part of your program, why it was created, what it does, what resources and variables does it use, how would you like it to be (or do) in the future.
At this point you would not only provided everybody else with an anonymous piece of code, but, which is much more valuable, you acted as an expert providing us with the experience and knowledge that you laboriously collected for all those past years.
Does this make any sense to you?
I decided to give you a Bairam present.
Thank you for that.
The English one is modified for teaching purposes.
The code seems interesting.
The version I use currently has
additionally medical procedures pricelist of Turkish
Medical association and drug prices and other data which appear on a pop up window when you click the
name of a drug which you wrote on a prescription.
This seems interesting too. Although the price list is Turkey specific, the way you deal with it and the click and popup mechanism that you have put up, could be very interesting to code for other countries too.
At a certain (higher) level the solutions found for Healthcare problems tend to be very similar from country to country.
May God Bless You All !!!
Amen.
Best regards,
J. Antas, M.D.
