It is supposed to be much more distributive in nature. The model they use to take a small group of users data into the field doesn't translate well to the larger sites we have. I think there is a happy medium between the 'one pot' and 'everyone for themselves.' We are changing the system to be a little more like VISTA in that notes in progress will be stored locally and only sent when complete. This will make the system faster for our far-flung users. Was the system designed right for AHLTA? I have no idea. I am not a trained network engineer. I am learning more by the day, and the interface with which the users interact with the system is what I can exert a little control over. There are parts of the user interface that I think AHLTA does better than Vista, and other areas where Vista is probably better. The more I know what can be done, the better I can implement my 'better mousetrap.' JRA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
