Canada Claim Form

Note: This section applies only to existing Canada customers or developers.


Import Claim Form

If you are already using DentOffice and wish to add the Canadian claim form, use this file: CanadianClaimForm.xml. After downloading it, go to Setup, Claim Forms (Claim Forms) and import it. You will also need to place the background gif into your A to Z Folder as described in Install Database below.

To download the new claim form background use this file: Canada.zip. It also includes a version 6.8.39 database should you need it.

Install Database

  1. Right click on the Canada.zip link and select Save Target As[...]. Save the file to a new folder on your C drive or on your desktop.
  2. Right click on the file and select Extract All to unzip it. It will contain a database folder as well as the claim form image.
  3. Stop the MySQL service: Right click My Computer, Manage, Services and Applications, Services, then look for MySQL in the list. Highlight it, and stop the service.
  4. Rename the old database at C:\mysql\data\DentOffice\. For example, rename the DentOffice folder to something meaningful like DentOfficeoldusa or DentOffice_2009_11_30. Now there should not be a folder named DentOffice in C:\mysql\data\.
  5. Copy the downloaded database folder called canada into C:\mysql\data\, and rename it to DentOffice. Now, when you open C:\mysql\data\DentOffice\, you should see about 500 files, starting with account.frm, account.MYD, etc.
  6. Copy the claim form gif into C:\DentOfficeData\. When you open C:\DentOfficeData\, you should see all 26 A-Z folders, the gif you just added, and a few other files and folders.
  7. Restart the MySQL service.
  8. Run DentOffice.
