Hi Lorna, You can pull the element name from the group response. Here's an example of an IFE that grabs the element response for the last filed response to another query and defaults it into this query's response and skips. [EMAIL PROTECTED]"GRMNEMONIC", [EMAIL PROTECTED]"OTHERQUERY"]]^VAR, IFE=VAR^/[ANS%0,"QUERY"]|0,P(R,S,VAR)^#,""} - Replace GRMNEMONIC with the group lookup mnemonic, - Replace OTHERQUERY with the mnemonic of the query whose last response you want to display, - Replace QUERY with the mnemonic of the query on which you place the attribute. Words of Caution!!! If the otherquery is an Optional type, you may get a nil value if you are looking for a mnemonic that matches. You can avoid this problem using the attribute below. Also, since Meditech standard function stores only the mnemonics of filed responses for group type queries, be sure not to send the element name to the /[ANS%0,"QUERY"]|0 if this query is also a group query with the same responses. Instead, the attribute needs to first assign the last filed response to the query to the /[ANS%0,"QUERY"]|0 and then find and display the element name to the screen. [EMAIL PROTECTED]"QUERY"]^VAR^/[ANS%0,"QUERY"]|0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] IFE=MIS.GROUP.RESP.element.response["GLMNEMONIC",VAR]^VAR;VAR}^VAR, IFE=P(R,S,VAR)^#,""} Hope this helps, Kenny Whiteside Kenny Whiteside RN, BSN Patient Care Information Systems Catawba Valley Medical Center 810 Fairgrove Church Road Hickory, NC 28602 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "Johnson, Lorna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/25/2006 5:41:59 PM >>> All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I'm certain that I'm just overlooking something simple....... I am trying to default, into a CDS field, the element response from a group response, based on the response to a previous field. I have a clinic name defaulting into a field. Easy enough. But I want to use that clinic's element mnemonic to reference the element mnemonic of a group response that contains clinic telephone numbers, and put the element response (aka telephone number) into my CDS field. I have tried subscripting and DFT, and IFE, but I'm missing something. Would someone please stir the mud for me?
