if I wanted to print a letter on a date after the exam dafe of finalize a cls prescription after exam dafe (I gave patients trials and had them call me later to tell me which lens they like) I noticed I can't just click on old records and print letter or finalize bc it will print or add new record for current dad. I would have to go to old records to the actual day, click edit and then print letter or finalize cls. is this the only way to so this, to have to edit old records?

It sounds like your exam is crossing multiple days, with the CLS Rx on one day and the Rx finalized on another day. If you want everything to show up on the old day then, yes, you would need to edit the old record.
I believe that the intended solution to this would be to pull the information forward to the current day through some "import from previous" or "copy from last exam" button and then finalize the Rx on the current date. You can now print letters using the new Rx on today's date.

Peter,
This is a problem for us as well. We see many contact lens patients for a follow up to finalize the Contact Lens Rx. When we print the finalized Rx, we can set the Exam Date and Expiration Date (as well as the lens modality and number of lenses to be dispensed). The problem is none of this information is saved. If a patient returns to our office at a later date and asks for a copy of the prescription, the staff cannot print because all the above values will go back to default.
A solution could be to put the Exam Date, Expiration Date, Number of Contact Lenses to dispense, wearing time of contact lenses (modality), contact lens solution recommended, and other recommendations onto the Final Rx Tab. Have them default as they do now on the print window, but allow them to be saved, especially if the doctor changes them. That will allow the doctor to customize that Rx and it will be able to be re-printed in the future.
