Adding the date to the report is on my list. There is no role field on the correspondence detail form, which is why nothing shows up there. I'll think about that one. I can add the event easily enough. >Similarly, the window listing all the documents shows Correspondence in the >Event column for all my CORR ### 's.

I would prefer not having to do this. Liz, can this >idiosyncrasy associated with Correspondence documents be fixed? This is a design issue. The event Correspondence is reserved for that template and that's how Clooz knows which template to open up. To change that would be a major redesign. It may be changed when the program is completely rewritten, but for now, that's how it's designed.
