Does anyone know how these fields are being addressed in VistA Office? >> I am not very happy with the appearance of this generic lookup window at the >> moment, >> except for the fact that it works, mostly.

Improving on the generic lookup window is very high on my priority list, both for M2Web and for VMACS. One set of interesting possibilities I have been experimenting with is in the Ajax package called Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org). I will put up some examples soon of a very cool autocomplete comboBox that can be used to do quick lookups on VistA data with M2Web. >> >5. I like the help buttons "?".

OK, done. I also added a dropdown menu at the top of the page listing all of the registration screens by name. I think it might be a better alternative to the more terse navigation bar at the bottom of the page that lists the page numbers as links with the names as tooltips. --------------------------------------- Jim Self Systems Architect, Lead Developer VMTH Computer Services, UC Davis (http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/us/jaself) --------------------------------------- M2Web Demonstration with VistA (http://vista.vmth.ucdavis.edu/) (http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/m.cgi) --------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
