I noticed that!

Why not start as it is meant to function.

ie: use the active problem list (as you try) to add an empty SOAP control 
which is then saved back as another progress note episode. I assume you are 
doing something like that.

Why try and define an episode before you allow the user to add a soap note - 
we don't do that on the page. Simply label all new notes as udnefined, and 
then enforce linkage to either an existing problem list or to the definition 
of another problem.

I also seem to remember as recent statement in a mail saying something akin to 
'we havn't decided how to edit progress notes  yet' - the answer is really 
simple  you don't - progress notes are just that 'progress notes', they are 
added sequentially to a running total. They are not meant to be re-edited in 
the SOAP editor in any circumstance other than in the current consultation. 
After committing they become part of the html generated pages.

Finally as I've posted to Carlos, why don't we start of with a proper 
integerated design now, it is no extra effort - it is just yet another wigit 
combination, but one that makes more sense.

Richard
