Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question, I would like to know if it is possible to use
Epidata on nertwork and more than one user to use it at the same time.
Regards,
Zaharani
Hello!
I totally agree with you Max on this question.

Bellinda

Subject: Re: [EpiData-list] How should EpiData Analysis read a CSV
(CommaSeparated File)
Hello Jens,
I would strongly argue that a missing is a missing and a 0 (zero) is
a very distinct value - hence never turn missings into zero by
default...
or in short: Option 2

Hello,
SPSS exports your data base towards Stata or DBASE by Using Stat Transfert.
Then your data base in Epidata imports.
Veiled what it is necessary to do.
But I do not understand well that is what you want to do thereafter.
If is to analyze you could better do it under SPSS
Thanks yours

I have a ready SPSS-file (which is awaiting the app.5000 questionnaires
of 220 questions each) and want the database to be built up using
Epidata in order to reduce errors. Does any of you know if (and how)
Epidata can read this SPSS-file?
I wanted to ask before I start writing the whole thing manually...

Convert it to Stata (using e.g. StatTransfer or saving it as a Stata-file
directly from SPSS (ver 14)) and import it from the Data in/out menu in
Epidata.
Epidata find all your variablelabels and value labels from the SPSS file.

Subject: [EpiData-list] Searching records with same field value
Dear Jens,
Greetings.
Thanks for the good and stable Epidata 3.1. During the database management one often updates the previously entered records. For example in the population database of households I can use the house number to search the previously entered records of many members of same household. In Epidata when I use find option using house number only one record is displayed at a time.
In EPI 6.04d one could see LIST OF RECORDS with same house number at a time and choose the desired one by moving the highlighter bar over it and pressing Enter key.
Procedure -1. Press Ctrl-F key.
2. Enter specific house number in the House number field.
3. Press F3 key.
That displays the list of previously entered records with the same house number. Hence specific record could be located for editing purpose.
Epidata does not have that option at present. Please explore the possibity of incorporating similar option in the Epidata also. This option ia really helpful in large population databases.
Once again thanks for this wonderful and stable freeware. Please convey my best wishes to Epidata team.
Sincerely,

Greetings.
What happens if you have more than 1 need of the INI file? Suppose you have a
'system' for PMTCT with INI needs and a VCT system with different INI needs and etc.
Would one create subfolders under Program files with different names for the
.EXE and .INI files?
Would not be a problem if on a single USER system but, what about the SYS administrator of several systems?
Thanks.

This problem will occure in every place where user's don't have admin privilege.
The (micrososft) recommended procedure is to put the executable in program file and only executable (wich include dll's) and all other data in the "documents and settings" folder. This mean that INI file wich is a setting file should also be in this folder.
But if everybody agree whit that, I suppose that the program should be modified.

Hi,
Recently, we have lost part of information in the data entry file that
we've entered earlier, and I'm wondering if someone else have experienced
similar problems.
Recently, our data entry staff found that information she had entered the
other day disappeared from the file, mainly the ID variable two other
variables next to it. The strange thing is that not all of the cases lost
the information. Only about one-third of cases lost this information. We're
investigating how this happened, and before concluding it might be results
of human errors, I'd like to check if this kind of accident has happened to
someone else. We're using EpiData 2.01 version.
Thank you,
Jin
