Ok folks. Please help me out with a question about

the Find report feature.

For example, I need to enter a prescription which is

not refilled on a regular basis. I would like to

find the previous entry, duplicate it, and then

update the duplicate with the new date and other

information. I prefer not to attempt scrolling

through the lengthy Expense Log.

Really? Why not? ;-)

The Find report located the prescription very quickly

using the Service field for Rx:xxxx. The only

problem is that I cannot seem to duplicate and entry

from the Find report, only edit the existing entry by

clicking it.

I went to the the regular Report feature but Service

is not a search field there, so no joy there.

Which report? The Cost Calculator <with the Services radio button selected>, the Patient History, and the FSA reports all allow searching by Service; and only the Patient History fails to give you a Service multi-select option.

Of course, all of these reports exhibit the same behavior as the Find facility in that they do not allow you to copy or duplicate an entry. So still no joy.

My only option seems to be finding the entry with

Find, making a note of the date, going back to the

Expense Log, scrolling until I reach the date,

You can removing the scrolling by using the date ranges on the Expense Log. Set the From date to the date of the Rx you found, and the expense should be in the first screen-full.

duplicate the entry, and edit the duplicate. Kind of

convoluted.

Agreed.

Am I missing something here ... or is it not possible

to duplicate an entry from the Find report? If not,

is this a viable add-on request for a future

release?

I don't think you are missing anything. I agree that this is something that should not be as hard as it is. If it is something that cannot be added to the next release, I'd like to at least see the ability to duplicate an entry from its Expense Details screen. This would avoid having to add the functionality to the reports themselves <and remove the possibility of degrading the reports performance to that of the Expense Log> while still allowing us to duplicate an expense that we found in any given manner.

When I first read this, I was really hoping to give you a better answer. Sorry.

Thanks for the detailed response, Tony. I had worked through this before posting and couldn't find a straightforward solution ... but just wanted to give you a little test. ;-)

And don't get me started about scrolling in the Expense Log. ?:|
