Adjusted the Medicare number input function - removed input mask which could cause problems - added data validation.
If 11 digits are entered into the Medicare number field, the last digit is put into the Patient Reference Num field.
New search functions were created for Medicare, DVA and Health Fund numbers (button next to each field). These will search single or multiple provider files. Where multiple patient matches are found, the date of birth is also shown. Also added the operation date to the multi-provider search results window.

Added a wildcard function to the patient name search to ignore middle names e.g. John*Smith will find John Smith, John J Smith or John Jerry Smith.
Removed the Ctrl D shortcut for deleting an account - to avoid accidents with Ctrl F. Also modified the prompts to reduce the likelihood of accidental deletions (for accounts and payments).
Adjusted patient name data entry to automatically insert capital letter after an apostrophe, e.g. o'neill --> O'Neill.
First characters of payment drawer, bank and branch entries are automatically put into upper case.
Added a function to reinsert a 'missing' account number. This allows creating an account with an account number somewhere between the lowest and highest existing, providing the number does not already exist. Options > Provider details > Insert missing… This will also show a list of missing account numbers.
Revised the calculation methods for ASA RVG fees so that 1) non-unit fees would be added to the total, 2) time units are only included in the fee if shown on the items list, and 3) workaround for Access 2007 bug where totals were not calculated correctly.
