Certainly not a stupid question but one that needs documenting
better if you didn't find it right away.

Providing them an interface to the properties that keeps the
values in sync is the easiest solution at this point.  I say this
because the next generation of FreePM is being designed as an
implementation of GEHR (www.gehr.org)  We will of course produce
tools that will migrate data to that version from the 1.x track.

I ran a development version on line for a long time but didn't
attract any developers.  At this point you can do an export and
send them to me (FreePM.zexp & FreePMProduct.zexp) and I will
merge your changes that are generic into the main distribution.  
If there is interest again I would like to setup the development
version on the www and use versioning for each registered
developer.  It works well when used correctly.

This is similar to another installation where the
transcriptionists do the data entry for some physicians.  There
is a pulldown on the Encounter Screen to allow a provider to be
selected for each encounter.  If someone else is doing the data
entry (you will need to set the security for their role) the
correct provider can be selected from the pulldown.

I think you will find that the Reportlab documentation is very
helpful and you can use the examples in the Extensions directory
to help get you up to speed on creating really nice PDFs.

Some really great ideas deleted, because......
as we are moving to a more standards based implementation and we
wish to maintain patient access to records...and we want to
provide the ability to use external user sources then we need to
consider other things as well.  So, while I am certainly keen on
cleaning this up  I would like to get more input looking at the
broader picture.

Thanks for your input and corrections,
