Dear Sir
IN relation to the old epidata entry software, As most databases are relational could you clarify what is meant by "in
situations with relational databases ."

Dear all
The only problems reported with the test version last week was some
visual problems on Mac computers when browsing data in Manager and
EntryClient.
We have therefore today released the next version 1.4.4 of Manager and
EntryClient for general production use. Please find the updated versions on:
http://www.epidata.dk/download.php
We suggest that all users update to this version, since all reported
issues (to the best of our knowledge) have been solved, including the
problematic "start up" issue on MAC, and program crash when the user
removed fields involved in Jumps, Compare values or Calculations.
The download page is now suggesting users to get the epx based Manager
and EntryClient and only use the old "Classic Epidata Entry" in
situations with relational databases and need for extended calculations
during entry.
In short the enhanced functionality since 1.4.2 are:
Common to Manager and EntryClient:
* Introduces a new .lock file principle, indicating that a given file is
already in use.
* Prevents loading project files created with "future" (experimental)
versions of the programs.
* On Linux/Windows a new and improved dataset viewer. Much faster on
very large datasets.
* Show progressbar when loading/importing files.
Manager:
* New "Data Validation Report", for a list of possible errors in current
dataset.
* New field tools: Clear Data and Recode Data.
* Added EPX as export (save partial or whole project as a new epx)
* Improved support for DDI export,
including compliance with Danish Data Archive specifications
(See http://samfund.dda.dk/dda/default-en.asp)
* Improved Stata import and SPSS export.
* Improved Study Information
* Improvements to text-reports including Study Information.
* Export report documenting export to any format.
EntryClient:
* Valuelabel and/or range information is show as note upon entry to a field.
* New path for placing backup files, rather than same place as original file
* Use of "+" on Date or Time field automatically inserts current date or
time.
Development will now continue with aspects of relational databases in
the preparation of securing user access and logging. More on that later.
Should any problem arise do not hesitate to report these on this list. A
report from a user last week of dysfunction of this list could not be
replicated. Most likely it could be due to someone sending posts with
html formatted mail instead of text .

Hello,
I have mostly the same problem. I can open my original file "Beatrice.rec"
and work on it. Nevertheless, as soon as I try to save the file (modified
or not), I get this error message:
savedata "Beatrice.rec"
Saving data to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Bureau\Beatrice.rec
*Exception occured: Access violation at address 00723AE4 in module
'EpiDataStat.exe'. Read of address 0000006D*
*Failed to save data to C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrateur\Bureau\Beatrice.rec*
Then, if I try to open this file newly created, the following message
occurs:
*Error in the datafile C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrateur\Bureau\Beatrice.rec.~~The field definition in line
1001 could not be read or interpreted.*
- It is on particular PCs using my log in only
- Data is saved to the local drive
- My operating system is: Windows XP Professional SP3.
I'm hoping someone on the EpiData email list is able to tell me what
cause is and how to fix it. Alternatively, there may be additional
information you need first. If that's the case, please let me know
what.
Thanks,

I need help in writing the command for the following function.
1 have 2 date fields. the difference between the dates can be less than 30
days also in some cases. How can I auto calculate the difference in days
between the 2 dates.
Eg.
v01 11/11/2013
v02 20/11/2013
I want v03 to be automatically calculated as a difference between the 2
above dates.
Many thanks

I previously used v1.4.2 (x86_64_Win64, Windows 8) - that's the one which
doesn't work.
But I just figured out that it actually works with the beta version that I
just installed:
EpiData Entry Client
Program Version: 1.4.3.3 r342
Core version: 1.4.3.0 r892
FPC Version: 2.6.2
Platform: x86_64-Win64
Filename: C:\XXX\Politiker.epx
XML Version: 2
Field count: 34
Record count: 0
Principally this solves my problem. But I'm kind of unsure if it's
reasonable to use a beta for our study, isn't it?

Hey there,
I'm currently experiencing an issue that prevents me from running multiple
instances of the Entry Client. Our study makes use of two different
analytical units whose forms should be filled out simultaneously. For this
we need to open different files on the same computer at the same time.
If the option "Allow multiple program instances" does what I think it does
- it doesn't work for me. Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for your help,
Nico
Which version and type of operating system - use copy version in help menu, and paste into a response.

Dear all
Following about two months focus on a project in collaboration with the Danish Data Archives we have today released new test versions expected to be used for general production in about a week unless problems show up.
Changes in Both:
* Check for loading future XML versions
* Improved speed on "Browse Data" for large datasets.
* Shows progress of loading/importing files (EPX, REC and STATA files)
Manager: (1.4.3.4)
* Improved DDI export
* New Tool: Data validation (report)
* Fixed long standing bug where deleting fields being part of jump/calculation/compare would cause a crash on save.
* Improved field list report
* New recode data form.
* New rename items form.
* New report for export.
EntryClient: (1.4.3.3)
* Fixed but where using "marked for deletion" did not mark project as modified.
* New paths: backup (for backed up projects)
* New: Date/time fields now automatically insert current date/time if pressing "+" key.
Please test and verify function ,such that we can this version out quickly.
