OP crawford Member Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 7	We are presently a satisified customer of AC with 4 medical providers using it. We are part of a clinic with 15 total medical providers. Is AC capable of being used by 15 providers with one server? Is the latest version of AC compatible with a server/client relationship without loss of speed? How many records can AC handle? Presently we have about 15,000 charts in our database. Is there a limit?

With Access, there was always a limit and, frankly, 15 users would have taxed it a bit, but my understanding with SQL is the sky is the limit. Bert Pediatrics Brewer, Maine

I believe only 5 will show up on the schedule's screen.

When I talked with support about trying to get a provider off and replace it with another I was told only 5 would fit on the screen.

Transfer their appointments to another provider. Then go back and for each day of the week, in their appointment slot setup, check "Off". That is, instead of them showing 8-4 on Monday through Friday, show them as off every day.

Leslie Member Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,002 Central Oregon	HAHAHA!!! You should have been around here last year after I moved my practice down the street. I changed one line of my address and it took me 3 months to get paid again by Medicare. And, after almost 2 years, I may now have figured out how to get Railroad Medicare to pay. Glad my suggestion worked for you but I must give the credit to Jody at AC support. She told me how to do it when I had the same nagging problem.
