Thanks Bert for the info. Lets say doctor is going to change emr as above. Now he has to have a running AC to access old records to put on either CD, flash drive, or fax to new doctor. You say to backup the database. Is there a way to put the whole database of patients either on hard drive or cloud where you can have easy access once you stop using AC? YOu just click on database, find patient info, and do what you need to do with the info without having to actual having a running AC program . Right now, I thought only way to access those patients was by running AC and click on patient.
