Would it be possible to install the SQL Database on a NAS drive connected to the main server via LAN? My guess is speed could be an issue but still thought it might be worth a try? I ask this mainly for security purposes, the NAS drive I can hide & lock away for security reasons / versus hiding / tu...

Have you read about OVERJET.AI -- https://www.overjet.ai/ Seems to be taking AI to a interesting level - they claim to integrate with practice software - have they reached out / or have you seen implementation with Open Dental? They raised some funding as well -- TechCrunch > https://techcrunch.com/...

Hi I wanted to know the importance of the files being stored in the EmailAttachments folder within OpenDentImages - it has an In & Out folder as well - all three are taking up space in my OpenDentImages folder and wanted to know if I could do spring cleaning of this folder from time to time basis?

Id be cautious on using it on OpenDental Database - in fact I'd suggest not to

this is only good for A-Z folders and I use it to sync across my X-ray database

Looks like this handles the A-Z folder. How do you handle the database?

The more digitized our practices become, the more possibilities shall open up into exploring how Deep Learning & AI can sift thru data in Open Dental. One amazing thing about OpenDental is the accessibility to all our data via User Queries - but you still need a super scientist on the front desk to ...

I've been trying to integrate CareStream digital X-ray bridge into Open Dental but have repeatedly failed, despite trying Trophy Simple and Enhanced versions.

The error dialog that pops up

Thank you for the suggestion I've seen some offices get stuck at the login screen when their primary key range has been used up in the securitylog table.

For a day One of my replication server seems to totally lock up - when I start the replication on the server - the OpenDental Freezes at the point of logging in to OD - I have figured that the problem may lie in the my.ini file - as when I restore it to default Opendental - with the default my.ini t...

Just a tip - ive been using Syncthing https://syncthing.net/ for a good 2 months and enjoy the Open Source app - its available in Linux / Windows & Mac version and is secure - install it on both computers and share the Device ID - link up the folder you want to share and let them sync - it watches f...

It would be more user friendly if when a person enters their password to get into OD, a box pops up (like in MOGO) that asks if you want to clock in, Yes or No. When closing off the program the box also pops up asking if ready to clock out. Any thoughts? That is one way to solve the issue, but mind...
