** tabbing

*** Debbie Page Newton-I tab & type as much as I possibly can. It is so much quicker.

****Marie Laporte--I tab for all fields except for Diagnosis and Comorbids I use the mouse and select from the dropdown (have not figured out a quicker or easier way..are there any?)

***** If you tab into the diagnosis, or comorbid field, then start typing what you want to enter, access intuitively enters what you have started typing. e.g. for comorbid of myocardial infarction, start typing m for myocardial, and it will come up with myocardial infarction. Two caveats however, one-if you want a subcode attached, you still have to hit the drop down arrow to get a list of the subcodes. However, when you hit the drop down to get your subcode (e.g. inferior mi) access puts all the myocardial infarction codes and subcodes at the ''top'' of the list, so you don't have to scroll and hunt for the specific code you want. The other caveat is that you have to start typing the code ''exactly'' as it is entered in the code list. e.g. to get atrial fibrillation as a code you have to start typing tachyarrthmia's, because that's how it is entered in the list of codes. I still find this method way quicker, especially once you are familiar with how the codes are entered in the code list. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] 12:15, 8 November 2010 (CST)
