Thanks to all that replied to my dilema!! Here's the one that I used and worked extrememly well with what I needed it to do. I especially appreciated the explanations regarding the attributes, very educational. The "L" is the greatest!! Thanks again, Marie -----Original Message----- From: Cyr Frank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 5:45 AM To: Marie Merten; Meditech L (E-mail) Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Default attribute question (Magic) The DFT attribute will execute (default a value) when the cursor stops at a query, and there is no prior value. So in a multiple query, the DFT will default a value an infinite number of times that the user advances the cursor to the next position (that has no prior value). In your scenario, something like this will work: IFE=IF{[ANS,"QYMNEMONIC","M",1]|0 1; IFE=P(R,S,"Pt educated on purpose of treatment."^ IFE=/[ANS%0,"QYMNEMONIC","M",1]|0)^#,1} You will need to replace "QYMNEMONIC" with your query mnemonic.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I was wondering if anyone has had the experience with a default attribute duplicating itself in a "comment" type query. Here's the example: I have an intervention that RT will chart on and in an assessment. There is a query that has a default answer in the response of "Pt educated on purpose of treatment". The comment query is set to display 2 lines (it is a multiple). The attribute I have to default in the response is DFT="Pt educated on purpose of treatment". The query does populate once the cursor is in that query, but when I hit enter the response pops in again in the 2nd line of the comment. You can line-delete it out, but I'm afraid users will be confused...is there something more I should do to the attribute? Thanks for everything the "L" does!!
