Cernerpathnet blood bank ptc export access database upgrade issues

[Johnv]

Has anyone with Cerner converted to the enhanced version of PTC Export? PTC Export uses an ACCESS database to display patient blood type and antibody history when the main computer system is down. If so, how did you overcome the problem of special characters <, >, &, ', " in your legacy database whe you converted? We understand if these symbols are not cleaned out of your database, they will freeze the program.
