PROBLEM: On attempting to run Optimax Plus or entering certain program areas an error message "Input runtime Module " error occurs.

REMEDY:

  • Whether the computer runs under DOS or Windows the same action is necessary. In either case it is necessary to go to the MS Dos prompt.

  • At the C:\ > prompt type CD\ (Enter)

  • This will place you in the root directory and should display as C:\ >. If not, try the previous command again, making sure that you use the backslash \ and not the forward slash /.

  • At the C:\> prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT and (Enter)

  • You will either have a blank blue screen or a screen with some lines of code.

  • For a blank screen type the following command , capitals or small letters are both acceptable.

  • PATH=%PATH%;\OMAXPLUS\PROGS;

  • If there are existing lines of code which do not include any mention of \OMAXPLUS\PROGS then move down to the first empty space below the bottom of the last code line and enter the same command regarding the PATH as above.

  • To exit the Edit utility strike the ALT F key..

  • Select SAVE and then ALT F again and this time choose EXIT.

  • For Windows type EXIT (Enter) at the C:\> prompt, and then restart the Computer before carrying on with Optimax. For users with DOS operating systems just restart the computer before using Optimax.

Exit the Optimax and return to the Desk Top Screen.

PROBLEM:
When I do an invoice for a medical aid file although I have put in the maximums payable by the medical aid for the test it is still putting in the full amount of the test and not only the R100 the medical aid will pay.

REMEDY:
Go to utilities to Medical Aid file maintenance and call up the medical aid in question. Check what values you have under a/m (appliance maximum) and o/m

(overall maximum) if you have put a value under o/m it will overwrite everything above as this means that this is the total amount the med aid will pay regardless of how it is made up
