Technical Details / Troubleshooting

The bridge uses a command line as follows:

[Application Path]/PerioPal "PtChart; PtName ; PtBday; PtMedAlert;"
Where :
[Application Path ] Usually = C{\Program Files\PerioPal\
Pt Chart = AlphaNumeric Chart number from the Office Management System
PtName = Patients Last, First Middle Init
PtBday is the Patient Birthdate in any Microsoft Access compatible date format
Pt MedAlert is a Y or N .

Before version 6.7.16, there was a bug where the trailing semicolon was missing.

If the bridge is not working, then one option is to construct a shortcut that duplicates the bridge.  Like this:

The screenshot doesn't show the full text of the Target box:
C:\Program Files\PerioPal\PerioPal.exe "23; Smith,Bob; 3/25/75; N;"
