Okay! Right after sending the previous response to these question.... I had another thought! If the first query is required, you could use an FCL attribute to assign the temporary response to the first query to the second one as well. Any time the first one is changed, the second one would be updated as well! This will work well if the queries are on different pages. However, if on the same page, the value of the second will be updated appropriately but the screen will display the old value until updated either by the cursor "passing" through, going to another page and back, or canceling a file or exit. This attribute should be placed on the first BMI query and will assign the value to the second: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[ANS%0,"SECONDQUERY"]|0 Since the second query already has a value once the cursor reaches it.... I would place this IFE attribute on it to always skip it.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi, We use an attribute to convert patient's weight to BMI. On the same CDS, we have a series of queries to trigger a DVT protocol, which includes the BMI. We have a DFT attribute on the 2nd BMI query to pull in the previously calculated BMI. Work fine....UNLESS....someone changes the weight value. Is there a way to default the response from the 1st query into the 2nd query, AND update it if changed on the 1st query (same CDS)? TIA.
