bug fix release for Manager
by EpiData development and support 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Just before the weekend a bug-fix release has been made available for general download from http://www.epidata.dk The changes in Manager are always available as a short list on this link: <http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt> as well as in EntryClient on this link: <http://epidata.dk/epidataentryclient.changelog.txt> For the most recent Manager this is: 2.0.5.51: * Fixed bug in double entry validation, that could lead to A/V due to incorrect order of adding selectiong of key fields * Fixed bug where 32-bit Windows could drop the .epx/.epz extension with "Save As" on existing projects. * Fixed bug where double clicking a locked Keyfield, would cause A/V * ExportForm: changed filename edit to regular edit, to avoid confusion regarding paths. A/V indicates Access Violation. Stata 13/14 export will be implemented with next release of Manager, but Stata 13/14 import was implemented already in 2.0.4.43 regards Jens Lauritsen and Torsten Bonde Christiansen EpiData Association

Dear Hans, Thanks for your concern. I'm on a 64 bit system, however the 64 bit software version won't work at all on my computer. I looked through the archives and saw that other people with 64 bit systems were complaining about this, and finally and successfully installed the 32 bit software version on their machine.

In some systems, a 32-bit version of EpiData software appears to work (superficially), but then one runs into a problem sooner or later. Unfortunately, a 64-bit PC requires the 64-bit software. We need thus to figure out why 64-bit software does not work on your 64-bit PC. It is not a Win 8 problem per se (we tried it and it works). Unfortunately, I run out of suggestions on what to check next... Regards, Hans On 19-Jun-15 11:43, EpiData development and support wrote: > Dear Hans, > > Thanks for your concern.

Dear Torsten, Sorry for my late reply. 1. Version: EpiData Manager Program Version: 2.0.4.43 r1156 Core version: 2.0.0.0 r1161 FPC Version: 2.6.4 Platform: i386-Win32 2. Yes. There was an error message but the program closed down so fast I could just see it flash for a moment, with no chance of reading it. The program just closes down. Disappears. Nothing is saved and I am returned to my desktop. 3. I open the program, start a new project, open a new data form and add a string variable. In the field properties box, the moment I try to add a value label by pressing on "new", the program shuts down without saving anything. Scenario 2: I open a new data form, add a string variable without a value label, save the project and close the program. Then I open the project and try to add a value label to the existing string variable: the same thing happens. Program close down. This happens also when I try to add a value label via "Project Details" >> "Value labels". I hope this helps understand the problem.

EpiData Manager closing down on Windows 8.1
by EpiData development and support 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Dear users, I have installed EpiData Manager on a machine working on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I used the latest versions available: 2.0.4.43 r1156 1. At first I used the 64 bit version but could not open or save projects: this led to the program shutting down. In the archives I saw other users experienced similar problems. 2. I then uninstalled the above and installed the 32 bit version (Platform i386-Win32). This version seemed to be working well, until I tried to set value labels: when I do this, either by using the "Field properties" box or by trying to access through "Project Details" >> "Value labels", the program shuts down. I am just able to see that some error notice appears but the program shuts down so fast I cannot read it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Michaelנשלח ממכשיר הסמסונג שלי

I have sent an example of the bug, including logfile, .epx, .dta, to info at epidata.dk. I have received the following automatic answer: This e-mail is unfortunately heavily burdened by spam. If you have a general comment or question on the use of EpiData Software, please search the EpiData list. To join the list or see contents follow the link on the main EpiData site frontpage. Join the list to ask the question again. According to Stata the variable format is %5.0f.
