Hi everyone,
In case anyone else is running into the situation, I just found one rather cumbersome work around.
I cannot alter the preferred pharmacies through the demographics screen.
However, use Amazing Charts regular prescription writer. Pick some prescription that cannot be electronically transmitted, one that is italicized or create one that will be italicized. Prepare it, prescribe it, highlight a pharmacy that you do not want as preferred, uncheck the "save select pharmacy as preferred pharmacy" box, and hit the transmit button. It will, of course, give you an error message that it was not transmitted.
The net result of this is that the selected pharmacy will not be preferred. This reduces the number of preferred pharmacies down to five, so the New Crop screen can be opened.
Rather cumbersome but it works, I would still appreciate it if anyone else has an easier solution.
Thanks.
Gene
