Hi Cristina,

You could write an IF statement for your DFT.  Make the condition evaluate 
whether today is the same day the last response was filed.  If so, then place 
the current logic in the "THEN" logic.  It should look something like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]"YOURQUERY"[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
*AA.CCDQR[/["aa"],"QUERYA-GRANDTOTAL"]|0}

So, if the date is the same, the last filed value is defaulted.  If not the 
same, nothing will default as the value of the DFT will be nil.

Let me know how it goes,
Kenny Whiteside

Hello to All,
Here is the scenario:
The therapist did the treatment today and incurred a current total
treatment time of 45 min. on the initial session (as seen on the screen
below).

Initial Documentation: 
Time In: 0800  Time Out: 0830  Elapsed Time: 30
Time In: 0845   Time Out: 0900  Elapsed Time: 15
Time In:        Time Out:          Elapsed Time: 
                   Current Total Treatment Tm (min):  45 + Prev Total
Treatment Tm (min):     
 
= GRAND TOTAL TREATMENT TM(min): 45

Another treatment was given today in which it produced the current total
time of 30 min. on the subsequent session and as seen on the screen
below.

Subsequent Documentation: (same day)
Time In: 1000  Time Out: 1030  Elapsed Time: 30
Time In:        Time Out:         Elapsed Time: 
Time In:        Time Out:         Elapsed Time: 
                 Current Total Treatment Tm (min): 30 + Prev Total
Treatment Tm (min): 45
                                                      = GRAND TOTAL
TREATMENT TM(min):  75

On the following day, when a therapist documents the 1st time for that
day, our PT Manager wants to start anew without any defaults from
previous documentation. 
In other words, the default attribute does not carry over to the next
day. How can it be accomplished if feasible? The default attribute that
I use is: DFT=*AA.CCDQR[/["aa"],"QUERYA-GRANDTOTAL"]|0 

And it resides on the "Prev Total Treatment Time" query.

I appreciate any input you may have. Thanks!
