Dear Gerardo,

If you have the admin password, this worked on two AC 6.6.5 systems

Short version . . .

Active-patients + Inactive-patients + 999 = newest AC ID#

(The 999 may be some other constant, depending on your starting patient-ID#.)

Long version . . .

1) Go to view-administrative_options and logon with the admin password.

2) Add active-patients and inactive-patients to get total-patients.

3) Add to total-patients the starting-patient-ID#, which you undoubtedly remember from setting up the system, right? (It's often 1000. You can find it by entering a new patient and comparing the new ID# to the total-patient figure.)

4) Subtract 1.

It's easier than it looks.

Example from office#1:

3542 active-patients
+290 inactive-patients
-----
3832 total-patients
+1000 starting-ID# for this office, typical for AC
-----
4832
-1
----
4831 last-patient-ID#

Example from office #1:

6516 active-patients
+4195 inactive-patients
-----
10711 total-patients
+3999 starting-id# for this office, less typical
-----
14710
-1
-----
14709 = last-patient-ID#

Cheers,

Carl Fogel
