Hey Jason, Thanks a ton for posting that, and don't misunderstand, I stake no claim on suggesting it will be an easy transition to 5.7 :oops: I'm not sure what we'll run into, but I'm happy to help in the process and give the clients a better product in the end.

We have been seeing ClaimPayments getting deleted from our system and haven't understood why. Our process is to get an Insurance Payment posted as soon as we receive it and mark it as Partial so that another person or team can apply the payment to specific procedures. I finally dug into the code and...

Just encountered a bug in the appointment move feature of the latest release 12.4. This feature was added when moving an appointment (not sure why, would like to know): LINE 3272 in ContrAppt.ContrApptSheet2_MouseUp: for(int i=0;i<procsForSingleApt.Count;i++) { procCodes.Add(ProcedureCodes.GetProcCo...

Any reason to not make this work with 5.5 now? I keep getting an error that is not a compatible version of mysql. 5.5 just went GA so it should be safe to allow shouldn't it?
