Bruce,

I agree with Bert. You are making this way too difficult. Rather than try to make AC totally fit your work flow and desires, you may have to bend a little and make some concessions as to how you have done things in the past. No EMR will fit you personally unless you write it yourself and, even then, you may not be able to actually make it fit. Software is rarely (ever?)as flexible as the human mind.
