Re: [Gnumed-devel] Problems with add patient

perhaps cutting to 150msec may be better. Using MS access in VB the 300msec is 
fine, but with querying the client-server database as opposed to a local db 
may be the difference.

Can you set it at 150msec and let me know. I guess this should be user 
configurable anyway.

BTW, Carlos mentioned the STATE stuff. I did do the demographic AU import on 
setting up, but still can't add a STATE.
