The headers are just look up values from my look
up
table s = ^^^Subjective^^^, H =
^^^History^^^^,
PH = ^^^Past History^^^
The ^^^ are the carriage returns to make blank
lines
after the headings.
My form looks like this
Custnum
Date
Code
Note field
In Code I type in ph and press enter, there is a
lookup table
where ph pulls up ^^^Past History^^^, this canned
text is
inserted into the Note field. A EEP takes me
back to
the Code field, then I type in S1, that looks up
the canned
text... The patient stated they do not have a past
hist of....
If I type something in the code field that does not
have a
lookup that text is inserted to the end of the text
in the
Note field.

Marc, Thanks for the
detailed response. My original thoughts were to have one big varchar
because you can edit it with some formatting in RTF. But my problem
became how to insert those headers. How do you do this in your
form?

In my 6.5 app I use 1 note field and use a lookup table to
insert canned things like ^^^Subjective^^^,
^^^Past History^^^
(the ^^^ is a carriage
return)
On
my form I can type in a code like PH in a field
and ^^^Past History^^^ is inserted into the note field.
Then I can enter something like S1 which will
insert
something like ...[Fname] came into
today for......
( I do a search and replace
for [Fname] )
Then you can type in what
ever you want and the
text is added to the
end of the note field, of course
you can
click into the note field and edit the text too.
I am going to switch to a
varchar in 7.1 so I can have
more than 4k
for the notes.
I do not know if having a separate field for each
category like Past Hist, Current problem.....
will be helpful?
I think you can use those
dictating programs inside
a note field and
let it type / transcribe for you.
I did a
small test a few yrs ago and it worked OK.
Let me know if you come up
with any good suggestions.
So far I am
going to go with 1 big varchar to store everything.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Note fields
Hi all,
I am back to creating a medical dictation system
that has many categories for a single dictation.
For example, some of the fields would
be "Current Problem", "Past History", "Physical Exam", "Plan", etc,
etc.
All of
these fields have a variable amount of data, from a sentence to paragraphs.
I would like to use a combination of note and varchar fields in a
table for these fields, maybe 8 or 10. Is this going to be a good thing
to do???
I
heve never put more than one note field in a table, and in the past have tried
to isolate the field into a different table in case of pointer corruption, but
in this case.....is this a safe thing to do?? Lately I have not had any
corruption issues. Is there a better way to do this? Opinions all
welcome!
Thanks,
Bob C
