I doubt your going to get speeds anywhere close to what they were with Meditech 3.x. Even if you went completely VB based scripting in for 4.x you will have to slow down the script considerably (waits, pauseloops, Pause and stables) so that 4.x can keep up with the script. By going to rules based with a speed of .2 I've found BWS to be as fast as it was before I started using Rules, but I don't have to manually include so many slow downs so Meditech can keep up, nor do I worry about BWS and Meditech outpacing one or the other. I would say this is more of a Meditech interface issue than a BWS issue.

The script was originally developed for Meditech Magic 3.x using the MicroScript DLL and Visual Basic 6. The BWS version of the script is navigating thru Meditech 4.x fields at a much slow pace compared to the VB6, Meditech 3.x version. I have tested the following scripting scenarios in hopes to find a solution in improving the performance/speed while using the BWS or its DLL. BWS Rules Based Script, decreased WaitSpeed to lowest value 0.01 Created BWS Procedural version of script. Created procedural version of script using VB6 and BWS DLL. The above testing scenarios did not show any real speed improvement between them. Where I was able to get a real speed improvement is when I created a procedural version of script using VB6 and the Meditech mrwscript.dll. But using the mrwscript.dll makes this type of scripting very tedious and archaic. * Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve the performance/speed of navigating thru Meditech 4.x NUI fields while using the BWS or its DLL? Code Examples: [Rules Based] Title Enter/Edit Employee at 1,1 and Cursor within 7,1#31...Key "{F10}": Enter objRs("EAddrs1") [Procedural Based] Key "{F10}" Pause "@7,1" Enter objRs("EAddrs1") Alan Gersh Systems Analyst, Information Technology Department Martin Memorial Health Systems, Inc.
