Occasionally, when I use AC, I get that message. I usually just blast through it.
I did try the method I am advocating about 25 times using Virtual Machine. That made it much easier. I got that message once. I did lose the note that way, so I will say no next time.
I tried two ways. One was to use CTRL - S to send my note with lots and lots of information on it to my inbox. When I selected it, I chose No, so it would stay there. I then forwarded it to my front staff (in VM). They sent it back with the MR time. After I made another note based on that, I had the option of a CTRL - S or just forwarding it back. I think if you used this method, forwarding it back would work. It would save time. Sure you could lose the data they put in, but again, you would save all of your information. Of course, they would have the option of doing the same thing. Sure, that wold mean there would be multiple backups, but everyone could delete them once the note was signed off.
For me, the only way to see if a method is going to work is to try it for at least one day.
