Just:
1 start manager
2 create new project
3 point your mouse over the icons - two on the left side of the toolbar
will either "add structure" or "import" your file.
One problem can be if you work on a linux pc, that the extension of the
.rec file and the .chk file should be in lower case. that is not .REC
and .CHK
Following import of data and or structure you have to reallocate your
value labels to the fields. To avoid that you can export from EpiData
entry to a stata file and then use that for adding structure or
data+structure
It would be a good test for us to see if you can import data and labels
and then in EntryClient verify that all is imported correctly. (e.g.
look at first and last record)

I'm starting to work with an existing old (2005) EpiData project. There are rec files. I think this was the standard format this time, right?
How can I convert them to the current format to use it with the current EpiData-Version?
I found no import feauter in DataEntry and Manager.

As I understand it, during data entry in Epidata 3.1 (on Windows XP), if
X characters are entered into an X-character-long text field, EpiData
will automatically move to the next field. However, if the text entered
is less than X in length, then the TAB or ENTER key must be used to go
to the next field.
Can I set things up to require the ENTER or TAB key always to be pressed
to get to the next field? In other words, I'd like a field to remain in
focus, even if the data completely fills it, until TAB or ENTER is pressed.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have been trying to install the new Epidata for Mac. I have an intel cor i7. I have tried to install both versions of manager v1.1 (intel and power pc). Every time I get the massage that at step 4: Could not create directory /Users/dinahsherzadkhatir/Epidata/data. And step 9 says installation has failed. I have tried to use a different directory but I still get the same massage.

This mail does not make any sense! Am I supposed to find an answer to my question? There is no EpiData-list Digest, Vol 104, Issue 9 to be found in http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2012q2/thread.html#start.

Hello,
I am using the new version of epidata on a macbook and I cannot figure out
how to create a double entry verification file. When I look under the tools
menu there is no "copy structure" or "prepare double entry verification"
option. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much!

Dear all,
I have a relational data base and I want to create a temporary
variable in Epidata with the command below:
BEFORE FILE
DEFINE nameTemp <A > GLOBAL
END
but I get the error message beleow:
Illegal scope in DEFINE command. Use GLOBAL or CUMULATIVE in line 364:
DEFINE nameTemp <A > GLOBAL
What am I missing?
Walter
Hello,
I created two dates (date of birth of mother (datem), and date delivery
(dated)). I also created a variable "age".
>From "age", in the field calculation, I can calculate the age field in the
results because the variable does not appear (below results, "none" is
noted).
While, if I create another variable "age2, in the calculation, "age" appears
in the window (and I write age = dated - datem). So in Entry, age is noted
in variable "age" and not in "age2".... It is quite complicated...
Why should I create two variables ????
I miss the ease of entry with a EPIDATA ENTRY 3.1 before with the formula
(age2=(dated-datem)/365.25.....
Thank you.
Kind regards
Bernard BRANGER, Nantes, France
Awesome! Hope this addresses the exporting challenge!
Regards,
Paulo
