Flow on CoMed

Hi everybody in the clinical flow world,
We are in the process of switching over to accessioning and reporting all
our flow tests through the CoMed/pathology system. Up to now we have used
our own internal PC based system using Word Perfect and Quattro Pro which
allowed us a lot of flexibility in terms of how we reported our results
(tables etc.etc.). From what I know from people who have worked with the
CoMed system, the report forms seem to be very rigid (no tables!)and allow
for little flexibility.
My question is now, does anybody have experience in setting up these flow
report forms, and how do they look? We do DNA/cell cycle analysis,
Leukemia/lymphoma evaluations, immunodeficiency panels, and reticulocyte
analysis. Can anybody fax me some of their report forms for flow cytometry.
I know very little about CoMed and the CoMed experts I have spoken to, know
very little about Flow reports. Bad combination!
I would really appreciate any help - Thanks in advance!!
