Printing datasets "Invalid variant type cast"

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Just in case this is important - I forgot to mention that I am unable to open the epx or epz file in Epi Data Analysis (2.2.2.180). Does this support that something is wrong with my data file? Thanks again, Markus

Printing datasets "Invalid variant type cast"

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Dear all, I hope someone can help me to track down an error. EpiData Entry Client v1.3.0.6 offers to print a Data sheet with data. I am trying to use this function for some corrections to sheets, but I can only print a minority of data sets. Most of the time an error message "Invalid variant type cast" appears, asking for OK to ignore or Cancel to kill the program. I assume there is something wrong with the data, but from eyeballing I cannot see differences between the datasets where printing works and where not Is there a way to find out what is going wrong? Thank you all very much for your time and help, Markus

Relate with new Epidata Manager and Entry Client

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Hello, I have been using very successfully and happily using EpiData for a number of studies. I use the relate function often. I usually have 4 to 5 forms per participant and like to keep personal information separate from the rest of the data, etc. Recently, I had a med student decide to use EpiData, but he did his set up in the new manager and client software. The issue we now have is how to relate the four .epx files he created. Is this possible? If so, how is it done? Regina Harders

Multiple instances in Epidata client

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

Yo EpiData firends, Exploring the new 1.3.0.6 client version, I noticed in the settings an option called "Allow multiple program instances" I looked for it at epidata web documentation but I was not able to find. At first I tought it was an option to allow multiple typers in the same dataset. If this is the case, when the second typer closes the client, a warning comes asking to overwrite the data typed by the first typer. Thus, it seems not to accomplish this purpose yet. However, this option is also available in the manager, so I believe this was not the purpose. If it is an option to allow to open two or more client windows but not necessarily to type in the same dataset, it works fine. Is there a plan to allow multiple typers to type simultaneously in the same dataset? I was curious about this issue because the old EpiInfo v6.04 was able to so, and at the documentation of the latest version of EpiInfo, says that the EpiInfo is able to do so. Other data entry software seems to be able to do so too, such as CSPro and OpenClinica. Another question... when are you guys planing to do some translation to portuguese at the menus and documentation? Regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Questions about comparison of fields with Epidata Manager v. 1.1.2

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

To the Epidata mailing list. I have 3 questions about comparison of fields in Epidata Manager v. 1.1.2. 1) I would like to type the ID-number for the person (from 001 to 600) both in the beginning (Var1 – Integer field with length 3) and in the end (Var20 – Integer field with length 3) of my data collection file to be sure, that I am looking at the same person through the collection. Under Extended – Comparison I cannot find “Value must be = than”. How can I do this? 2) I would like to compare a record number for all persons asked for inclusion (Var1 – Auto Increment field) with the ID-number for included persons (Var6 – Integer field with length 3), but I cannot find Var1 under Extended – Comparison. How can I do this? 3) I would like to check, that the registration number (ddmmyyxxxx) of a person not is used in any other record. Can I compare the registration number (Var3 – Integer field with length 10) with the same field for all other records? Kind regards Trine Graabæk Hansen, Esbjerg, Denmark
