I agree. Any avoidance of that Save As pop up is way better. Shirley Hammack I.T. Financial Analyst Duncan Regional Hospital 580-251-8939

MPrint allows you to set up a Meditech Print Device that will spool the print job to a networked drive (same as DOWNLOAD). So rather than typing DOWNLOAD and then getting the 'save as' window pop-up, you will simply enter the MPrint device name. When finished running, the report shows up in your specified network folder. This avoids using the 'save as' window and you can have the PC locked while scripts run. You can also set up MPrint to watch the network folder so that when a specific named report does show up, it will run an executable or bat file that can do whatever you want (copy it to multiple locations, extract it to a dbf or xls file using Monarch, etc, etc). Hope this helps.

Hope this is helpful. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [talkbws] Download an NPR report with BWS 6.5 Hi, I'm making changes to an old script that was written in BWS 7 and uses Meditech Workstation v3.26. I making a call to an NPR report that I want to "download" to a network drive. When I have the script enter DOWNLOAD at the Print On prompt, the windows "Save As" popup appears where the path and filename of the file will be entered. Does anyone know a graceful way to access this popup so I can enter the path and filename? Thanks!
