The '''CCMDB.mdb''' stands for '''Critical Care Medicine Database'''. This is an '''Access''' database that the [[PDA]]s synchronize into. It screens the data for internal consistency and ranges, and then exports it in a format that can be imported into [[TMSX]] or [[MedTMS]].

=== Form Sizes ===
The forms are all larger now. This might mean they don't fit onto your screen. If that is the case, [[change your screen resolution]].


== Form Sizes ==
The form sizes on the laptops are continuously being tweaked to accommodate, especially, any of the laptops we use.
The form size was increased to accommodate the screens on the laptops which are small but have a high native resolution.

===X out of Program===
== Password ==
*We find that if you are in the program and you have enlarged the view box, and then you "X" out, it closes out the program, not just take you back to the start up page of "edit patients" etc. But if you are in the view box and you are in smaller screen and "X" out, it doesn't close the program it goes to the start up screen "edit patients". Which is what we want.Are we doing something wrong? [[User:WGobert|gogogirl]] 14:33, 3 June 2009 (CDT)

** There should be '''two''' Xs at the top right corner. The top one closes the entire application, the bottom one only that screen. If you use the door button instead in the patient view form then there should be no confusion. I don't think this has changed between the regular app and this one, has it? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:25, 9 June 2009 (CDT)
 
=== Yellows that don't go away when the value is fixed ===
Sometimes the fields for values that appear to be correct are still highlighted in yellow.  
 
If this happens, try putting a checkmark into the complete box corresponding to that tab. This will re-run the checks.  
 
Also, if the error box at the bottom seems to have out-of-date info in it, click the "Reset Err" button.
 
This problem happens because some changes in data will affect multiple boxes (e.g. survive and discharge-to) and running all checks after every change would slow down the program further.
 
===Lab, Pharm checks===
If the settings are set to "ICU" then Lab and Pharm used to have a checkbox in the ccmdb.mdb that had to be checked if there were no labs or pharmacy. This was changed so that Lab and Pharm that are legitimately empty need to have "no drugs" or "no labs" entered (much like "no comorbids") before they can be checked off.
 
If the settings are set to "medicine" you will not need to check off the "lab" or "pharm" checkboxes in order to set the "final check" box to send the patient.
 
=== TISS box gone ===
There is no longer a TISS box at the top of the patient viewer. People told me there were not using it and that it was just extra work.
 
=== Object With Variable Error ===
Occasionally the following error comes up
Microsoft Office Access
Object variable of With block variable not set - Patient <number>
OK
This error occurs when the program has previously run into a different problem and is still "confused". If this happens, go back to the main screen (i.e. exit out of the patient viewer) and click the "reset" button.

== Before Synching ==
Some of you seem to do extensive checks before synching and letting CCMDB.mdb do checks for you. I am curious - why? I thought we made the ccmdb to automate and facilitate these checks. Any thoughts? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 22:25, 4 May 2009 (CDT) {{discussion}}

==Deleting data on PDA after sending from access==
What is the process everyone should follow '''before''' deleting sent patients from the PDA? Some people check with Pagasa, some check on the regional server that data has actually been posted. Is it a common occurrence for data not to have been posted? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 22:32, 4 May 2009 (CDT) {{discussion}}

*After sending you check your output by opening twister and clicking on output, then find your site and click on the batch number csv you just sent.

The [[CCMDB.accdb]] is using the same password everywhere. This used to be required to make sure the PDAs work.

The CCMDB.accdb is a Microsoft Access database, with the name being the acronym for Critical Care Medicine Database. CCMDB.accdb screens the data for internal consistency and ranges, and then exports it for further processing during sending.

Updating of CCMDB.accdb Program

Rolling out new versions of CCMDB.accdb is done by Tina or Lisa using a batch file called updt_all.bat. See the update Log for information about changes, and see Requested Changes for changes planned for the future.

Data in the CCMDB.accdb

Data in CCMDB.accdb is stored in

Form Sizes

The form sizes on the laptops are continuously being tweaked to accommodate, especially, any of the laptops we use. The form size was increased to accommodate the screens on the laptops which are small but have a high native resolution.

The password for the CCMDB.accdb is known as "the tasty password". If you don't know it, and need to know it, talk to Trish or any data collector. All data collectors need to be thoughtful as to who they give this password out to.

The CCMDB.accdb is using the same password everywhere. This used to be required to make sure the PDAs work. It is now required because collectors cover at different locations and using different passwords would get people to write them down. Since laptops are encrypted, and accessed using the user's network password, this should not be a problem.
