Hi everyone.
Brief update.
I just got off the phone with Michael Kerr, regional manager for AC. He says that AC is aware of all of these concerns. There will be an update from management posted on the user board in the next few days.
The plan is to release ver 6.5 March 1 2013. this will contain the HIE link with UPN as was conjectured in this thread. Ver 7, who knows? Hopefully info will be in management posting.
Thanks,
Marc
