The Accession form is where patient data is entered. The colored area at the top of the form helps you find a specific record. The form opens with the cursor in the Find box. Status bar help above the start button shows: Find string in | AccessionID | AccessionNo | Patient | NPINo | PanelID | Confirm | Status | B-Batch | Cust | TMRecID | P-TMPID | Comment | SEL |. If you put vertical bars | around a search term, it will find exact matches for that term. If you begin the search term with |, it will find fields that start with your search term. If you don't use the vertical bars, any record that contains the term anywhere in a field will be included. All forms in the database that have a Find box work the same way.
