In fact, it doesn't matter what is written or pulled across *before* those lines either. My understanding (confirmed by practical experience of using Argus) is that the only thing that is that each of those two critical lines appears *somewhere* in the letter. Further, the two critical lines do not have to appear consecutively. In my template, I use the patient line at the top, as part of the letter, but have put the recipient line in the tiniest available font (I think it's 6 point on my system) below my signature, where it probably isn't even noticed by those reading it. I notice that David Guest has put both lines in a footer below the main text of his letters, and his test letters to me have come across perfectly well. > > My template/letters have exactly the above, yet after > updating from MD2.88 to 2.89 the letters are no longer HL7 > wrapped, and therefore won't go into the MD holding file :-( > > Before the "upgrade", everything was sweet. > > There's a bug somewhere. There must be some subtle difference. The best thing may be to try sending a letter about a dummy patient to the boys and girls at ArgusConnect and ask them whether they can spot the problem.
