Home Forums Discussions General Discussion the first week of July is over

My "server" is a Dell Latitude E6410 with an Intel i5 and 8GB Ram. We run three other machines: a Dell with Vista, a Dell with XP, and a Mac/Parallels with XP. I checked with the elves at AC tech support and they advised waiting till 6.10. I have downloaded v6.09 onto my wife's Dell laptop at home which has Windows 7 Home. It works fine--but the eRx isn't active.

Good point, John. Forgot about that. My apologies. It's hard to know what's up with ePrescribe, because some are using interactions and some aren't. Drug interactions slows it down quite a bit or at least it used to.

Can one test e rx on a sandbox?

You can test the eRx on version 6, if you have eRx working already on an earlier version. Backup your database to an .enc file. Do a new "full" install of version 6 on a test computer or virtual machine, and then use Restore from the backup you made to create a version 6 of your database on the test machine. Run the version 6 database tuner. Log onto AC on your test machine -- eRx will work, both the new Rx and the refill requests.

I've done this on a test machine and I can see how eRx runs on both version 5 & version 6, and I think version 6 eRx is noticeably slower.

never thought of that. Thanks John.

Sounds like it would be a lot more fun to test erx in the sandbox or it might be fun to try restoring a really old version of the "system" and using pen and script pad. In any event, thanks to you John for the advice.
