Does anyone have a scoring algorithm for SF36 - in the free version -
not the licensed one, where one has to pay to Qualimetrics for usage. ?

We have troubles with 'Double entry and validation'. We have chosen Tools - Prepare Double Entry Verification, chosen a key field to match records and 'Ignore text fields'.
The first time it functioned OK - Epidata stopped, when the control entry differed from the original one, and you could chose between the original entry or the new one.
But when a collegue started the following day, Epidata did not react, when the control entry differed from the original one.
What are we doing wrong?

Can anyone help with this?
We set up an EpiData database with a notes file <filename>.not. The
notes file appears to have corrupted and has taken the qualitative data
from over 40 surveys with it. I was wondering if there was any way I
could recover this or if I'll need to re-enter all the data manually
into a word document.
To help work out what/where/if something went wrong with EpiData the
breakdown of events is as follows:
* First ~45 surveys are entered without issue.
* From ~survey 45 when the notes file opened up it would not
allow me to type unless I pressed enter a few times and then backspace
(pressing enter once and backspace once would create space for two
characters to be typed). It was cumbersome but the data was still going
in alright.
* On closing the notes file whilst entering survey 60 the
computer froze for a moment and EpiData was 'not responding' for about
20-30 seconds and then went back to normal functioning.
* The next time the notes file was opened the cursor appeared
about halfway through the qualitative data for survey 19 and all data
after there had been wiped. I opened the notes file in notepad to
confirm this was the case.
Do you know of some recovery technique for this kind of problem?

Hi all,
Please help me on how I can define this jumps.
Variable a04 is exact age of respondent while variable a06 is another question. Variable a06 is only applicable to respondents whose age range is 0-18 otherwise a jump is required to variable a08. This is what I have done below but I keep getting error message.
Kindly help on how I can achieve the jumps.
Thank you.

Development of the stand alone Data Entry Client is progressing and we
need to take some decisions.
In short the revised setup will be such that a project manager person
will use the EpiData Data Manager to define data files, to document file
contents etc. whereas the actual data entry will be done with a
dedicated Entry Client, which can only do entry. On the list it was
suggested earlier that it is important that the entry persons can get a
quick overview, e.g. by data lists, spreadsheet view of the data or a
codebook. We will look at this later.
I invite you all to discuss and comment on the following aspects:
a. Show field names on entry form.
Could be either:
A1 Be part of the data file definition (sort of built into the
datafile)
A2: Defined via an ini file for the client
I tend to think that this is part of the project managers decision,
and therefore it should be A1, but I am not sure. Currently this is NOT
part of the data file definition, but part of the ini file for the
Manager . .
b. When the Entry Client opens a data file, which record should be shown ?
b1. The first one
b2. The last one
b3. An empty "new" record - ready for entry (as in current EpiData
Entry)
Would depend on the project. I suggest we decide on b2. This shows
how far entry is and the user can then issue a specific action to
continue adding (e.g. ctrl+N).
We can always discuss later if some of this could be controlled by
commands or specifications, but a default must be defined now.

Thanks Hans and Jamie. Your suggestion worked for me.

You should do this with GOTO as Hans suggests:
a06
before entry
if (a04 >=0 and a04 <=18) then
goto a08
endif
end
end
blocks that begin with a variable name cannot appear within the block for another variable. If you need to use the variable tempv elsewhere, then include this at the top of your check file
before file
define tempv # global
end

Hello, I'm in the process of learning how to use EpiData Analysis. I'm
going through the instructions in the Tiramisu example. I've run into a
problem. I'm trying to create the epicruve/histogram. The graph window
(Editing Chart) is not showing up. I looked through comments on the
[EpiData-list] and found a recommendation: insert (set graph edit=on) in
the command line. I tried this but received this message (graph edit not
supported). How do I turn on the (editing chart) window?
Thanks,
Sandy
