Hi Tobin,
I'm glad you found it helpful. As an alternative to a web server, you could store them as complex obs in OpenMRS. https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Complex+Obs+Support and https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Creating+Complex+Observations+and+ Concepts I'm not sure if HTML Form Entry supports complex obs at this time. I searched for the ticket but didn't find one.

Unfortunately I've discovered that due to security restrictions, most browsers no longer allow file:// links from pages served over HTTP meaning my idea doesn't work! Question to the list: Has anybody implemented a way to store files that are accessible within or easily through OpenMRS? The situation is that we have thousands of word documents containing old consultation notes stored in directories labeled with a patient ID that clinicians need to reference. It's very time consuming and difficult for them to wade through the filesystem manually or even use windows search. One solution I've read is to setup a web server that has file browsing enabled on the network share. This doesn't really allow additional files to be uploaded but I guess it's better than nothing...

But, I'm inserting an image based on the identifier with very similar code to yours and it's not including a stray space. My code is... <lookup complexExpression=" <img src="http://localhost:81/frontdesk/barre_code.php?string=${patient.g etPatientIdentifier(1)}"/> <http://localhost:81/frontdesk/barre_code.php?string=$%7Bpatient.getPati entIdentifier(1)%7D%22/&%2362> ; " /> Hope this helps.

The following is working except for a space which is being inserted just before the ID. An example of a link being generated is: file:///S:/OpenMRS/ <file:///S:\OpenMRS\> 00F51CD-2 (note the space just before 00F51CD-2). Any ideas? <lookup complexExpression=" <a href="file:///S:/OpenMRS/#foreach($patId in $patientIdentifiers.get('New Clinic ID')) $patId #end" target="_blank"/>LINK TO OLD PATIENT RECORDS</a>" /> Also, how would I modify this just to grab the first patient ID of this type instead of all of them should there be multiple?
