I would like to add the Referring Provider on the Pt Banner. How would I do this since it is not one of the current symbols?

Like so:
Referring DR.: {PATIENT.REFMDFIRSTNAME} {PATIENT.REFMDLASTNAME}
There are many undocumented symbols/objects in the system. You can find additional symbols defined throughout the meldefs.txt files in the Centricity directory.

Pardon me, that's mldefs*.txt rather. Specifically the files labeled "mldefs.txt" and "mldefs0".txt through "mldefs9.txt", respectively. Each file contains objects corresponding to a specific area or function of the chart. For example, the patient object can be found in mldef.txt.
There are many objects that return multiple rows, such as Patient Contacts, Services Provides, Users etc... You can use the mel find function to "query" individual records from these objects. There are a number of samples posted on the forum. The find function is also documented in the symbols help file.
Taking it a level further I have created my own symbols by modifying the sql view that the object is derived from and mapping the custom symbol in the mldef file. I would be interested in learning of others who have done this and what their experience has been.
