Hello everybody I just started to work with EpiData-Manager v1.4.2 this week. I was able to create a data entry form (questionnaire) and did start with data Input. After having finished the data entry of 3 patientforms I tried to export the data into an Excel-sheet (CSV-file). The problem is, that I am not able to fill in an excel-table properly. Instead of filling each heading into a seperate column in the excel-sheet everything is put into the first cell in the first column and separeted with a comma. More or less the same thing happens if I try to export my data with DDI. The only difference is that instead of commas the space-bar is used to separate the data in the line. Furthermore, some data is copied twice into the exported file. I will add a Word-document with screenshots, so your able to see what I'm referring to. I'd like to ask if you could help me to solve the problem (as a note: the same happend when I tried to export data out of the example form that was included in the download). Thanks in advance.

(updated)questions about manager

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Dear friends, some questions: 1) the length of the string in the generated .sps file is always 3 times the definition of the length of the string in Manager. for example: VL3 27-35(A) S1 145-204(A) in .sps but the length of S1 is 20 and that of VL3 is 3 in sample.v2.epx 2) How do I use the mssing values defined in Valuelabel Editor to set the missing values of the variables in SPSS? 3) Can I define the values of boolean type variables as 1 or 0? Thanks for your help advance!

want help

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

I use EpiData 3.1. In one of my projects I encountered a strange problem: The qes file contains 78 variables in total. Among them there are about 50 Y/N(1/0) variables. When I enter data into the rec file by EpiData and enter a series of "N"(0) for these Y/N variables ,the EpiData begins producing a prompting frame showing : "Access violation at addrss 00000000. Read of address 00000000." I have to hit the "OK" button repeatedly to make the prompting frames disappear. After they disappear, the program in chk file seems having stopped working. How can I enter my data normally?

Test version of EpiData Manager (1.4.3.3) and EntryClient (1.4.3.2) released

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Dear List. Today we have released new test version of Manager and EntryClient. This is a minor update on the release from last week, where we identified and fixed a small number of issues. We have had no comment on the new .lock file system during the week and if no further issues arise in the comming week we intend to release these version as the next stable release. The changes for this test release are: Both: * A text change during save and the .lock file is missing. * Fixed a bug related to non-ASCII characters in filename/path EpiData Manager: * Added a delimiter option to SPSS Export. * Changed naming of exports/double entry/backup to include current cycle number. * "Count-by-id" report updated to work on fields with same name, but different types. * Spelling corrections. The download is available from: http://epidata.dk/testing.php Kind regards, Torsten B. Christianse & Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association, Denmark.
