I felt the same way. ClamAV is also opensource. Is it possible to submit the file to them so their virus signature is updated?

We use clamav and it thinks that dualdesk.exe has a Trojan. Anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks Justin,

I will try compiling. I never had luck with precompiled windows executable. One time it would not take / for path so I could not use shared images folder on windows machine, these days it fails to start, complaining about cups printing (asking for it even though it is there).

I guess I could throw VMWare Workstation on the server... that way I dont have to worry about mono running the latest version of Open Dental.... All for linux.... Justin, Thanks for the tips. I thought about that too but then realized that most of the manufactures for wireless cards, printers, scan...

Just installed 6.7, it does mask the database password now.

I am using 6.6.26.0. It still does show the typed password. I just noticed 6.7.23. Does this version mask the password?

Here is my screen capture.

The overtime issue for over 8 hours per day is fairly high priority. But we've never considered a different time interval calculation. Any update on California overtime calculation? If this is not possible in near future, It would be nice if you can allow time card export to csv or xls. Then it wou...

How about masking database user password with ******. I am trying to implement security for general user and admin user. They will have different database logins too. Admin user will have root privileges on database. It would nice if you can block the typing of password from inquisitive eyes.

One thing about the datadump with mysqladmin. If the database changes through a version change ie: new tables ...... you have to edit your backup schedule to include the new tables it works well tho steve Thanks Steve, I will keep database updates in mind. I also found free alternative to replicato...

I use "mysqladmin" to do an automatic datadump several times a day which is stored on a different computer. This computer is also my backup server. mysqladmin is a free downlad from mysql and will run on any flavor of machine (windows ,linux/apple) We use karens replicator on a windows machine to m...

I just built a Linux Server with raid 1. Got all opendentimages and mysql data moved. Then I looked at backup! There is nothing wrong with current method. It works fine for windows machine. I have been able to backup and restore on home machine successfully. But, It seems that OD is just doing a fil...

OK. Let us try a different approach then. I am thinking that native compiled version may handle Linux style disk mapping correctly. If I download source and compile based on information on this board, will it be compatible with database version of our paid stable version on XP computer? If not, is t...

All it took was the screenshot. Forward slashes are not valid Samba delimiters. Use back slashes. The screenshot is from Linux workstation. As you know, path does use forward slashes in Unix/Linux as opposed to back slashes in windows. But, I did try what you suggested in hope that mono uses window...

I read somewhere on OD website that xp was reccomended over vista for OD, so I special ordered Dell with xp. Any way, without getting in to any OS fights, please help me solve this linux issue. Today we had a crash on XP machine and tech. suport remotely installed 6.3.8.0 after few tries. I promptly...

Have you considered avoiding all this hassle and simply using a Windows computer? Yes, but as Linux users would tell you, it is one time hassle (or few more while setting up) and forever bliss once done. In an office where the dentist thinks that the letter is stored in "word", not in drive C, not ...

Don't check the box for multiple paths. Just use the "override path for this computer". If you put that path in a file explorer outside of OD, does it bring up your images? I think your path is wrong. Yes, I can browse to the path and view all the images, pdf files, everything from Linux machine. I...

Thanks Dr. Sparks. With low volume in insurnace claims, I did not want to spend money on nea-fast. I guess it is paper claims then. Why can't insurance companies accept e-mails? Public key encrypted e-mails are supported by lot of e-mail applications these days. It would be easy to implement. I thin...

I ended up with emdeon on windows XP machine to avoid any complications. (And finger pointing ;-) ) I have managed to open just the port for emdeon while still blocking web surfing and e-mail to outside world from that computer. It is working fine. Now, how does one send a secondary insurance claim ...

Anybody here using mixed linux/windows environment? I have one XP home machine (dual-core CPU big SATA hard drive new Dell hardware) running mysql and open-dent client on dot net. Images folder on this machine is shared on the intranet. One Linux machine (four year old P4 2.4 GHz 9 GB hard drive) is...

Anybody doing e-claims on Linux machine? If yes, what do you use? I have creative front desk and computer illiterate dentist hence I have disabled Internet access on front desk machine hosting open-dent database. (running XP). I am running a Linux machine in the network that provides Internet connec...

I am more of a hardware guy than software. I am on this forum to support my spouse but this is something that looks promising till we find faster hard drive. http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-query-cache.html I hope Dr. Sparks or some other database specialist can read this up and t...

how many read/writes do I get before failure? Old flash had 10000 write cycle limit, later models had 100000. Latest claim few million. Yet, an operating system may write it's transient data such as buffers, in certain location all the time and exceed the specs. before you know it. See your winblow...

Our office uses Brother P-touch QL-500. It comes with few different label choices. We are using it for same function.

Anybody using linux workstation with mono? I just installed one on experimental basis. I copied a running version 6.0.2 from xp home machine to linux machine. I am running opensuse 10.3. Mysql is on windows xp home till I figure out how to get Linux raid mirroring fixed. I get following message once...

Yes running Linux on flash works great but be careful about memory wearout. It is real. There are linux file systems that take of wearout (Or so I have heard such as jfs used in my router). Here is some information about it. http://ask-leo.com/can_a_usb_thumbdrive_wear_out.html If you really want sp...

Looks like Rick hijacked the thread and my question remained unanswered. So here it is again. The label prints first_Name 'preferred_name' Last name. So I have Donald 'Don' Duck Your appointment is scheduled for: Is there a way to customize on either first_name or preferred_name field? I am OK with ...

Got it. I will update the production system this Saturday. One problem though, The label prints first_Name 'preferred_name' Last name. So I have Donald 'Don' Duck Your appointment is scheduled for: Is there a way to customize on either first_name or preferred_name field? I am OK with Don Duck or Don...

Update to version 5.8. There are no instructions. You have to figure it out for now. The labels work out of the box. For customization, the setup is under Sheets. I see 5.81 beta. Is this the one? What other stuff is beta in this version? I do not want to mess up with production system just to bet ...

Wow! that was quick, Thank you. How do I get it? Is it in the regular software update? Where are the instructions to use it?

Dave,

That has been standard procedure for us before we got opendent. Hope to see the modern software doing automatic labels soon.

good to hear that I am not alone asking for this. While the update is in works, any work arounds, tweaks to get the functionality that I need? (Some thing easier than Custom Querry /ODBC -> office product -> print label ;-). Well, my label software does support ODBC or so it claims. How about a cust...

I have a brother QL-500 label printer. I am able to print individual patient address labels on this printer. Is there a way to print label with A: Patient Appoint label with Patient Name, Appointment time & Date and provider's name. B: Same as A plus address to stick to post card? C: How about a scr...

Hello All, Using opendent for a month on single xp home pc for now. Had some teething (oops, wrong word to use on this forum :wink: )problems, then found some bugs with conversion but overall everybody including the dentist is happy with what we got now. It is time to go multi-user. I have open-suse...
