Help with Boolean
by EpiData development and support 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hello, New EpiData user here. I set up a form with some of my variables as Boolean. Entered my data using 0/1 for those variables. My issue is that all of them are now showing as N. Isn’t it N for 0 and Y for 1 ? Didn’t notice the issue until exporting my data. Is there anything I can do now about that ? Thanks.

BIG PROBLEMS TO UPDATE A CHK FILE
by EpiData development and support 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

We are changing year, so I am creating a "RU22.REC" with the root RU21.QES file (to replace the RU21.REC one) 1) The other years I went in RU21.CHK and renamed it RU22.CHK and it worked When I do this now, I have 3 pages of errors on CHK (which is exactly the same which works with RU21) quite impossible to correct 2) SECOND OPTION: I went on Epidata analysis and created without any problem RU22.rec Through the procedure SAVEDATA c:\data\RU22.REC. with an automatic transfer of the RU21.CHK to RU22.CHK BUT IT GIVES ME A VERTICAL QUESTIONNAIRE LIKE A VERY LONG SNAKE, VERY BAD TO MAKE A DATA RECORD HOW COULD I THROUGH THE "SAVEDATA" PROCEDURE HAVE AN HORIZONTAL (NORMAL) QUESTIONNAIRE Thank you very much for your help ALSO: HAPPY NEW YEAR Dr Pierre-Yves Robillard Réanimation néonatale et pediatrique, néonatologie Centre Hospitalier Régional Groupe Hospitalier Sud-Réunion BP 350. 97448 Saint-Pierre cedex Ile de la réunion

Hello together, I am using the "new" EpiData on Linux. I know how to delete one record/entry/observation/row in the EpiDataEntry. But I do not find a way to delete all records at once. Is there a function for this? My current workaround is simplye remove the <records> section from the xml file. Kind Christian

This is normal macOS behavior when first trying to run software that does not come from the app store. You must right click (or ctrl-click) on the app icon and choose open. You may have to do this twice for each app. Jamie

Problems installing v 4.6.0.6 on Mac Also

When trying to install new version on MacOC Catalina (10.15.7) fails too. "EpiDataAnalysis App cannot be installed because the Developer cannot be confirmed. MacOS cannot ensure that the program does not contain Malware" This happens both to Manager and Analysis installers (haven´t checked Entry Client) Same result regardless program security unlocked in settings.

Hi, Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I receive the same error message in the Event viewer when I download the zip-file, unzip it to a folder and then click the exe file. Best wishes, Johanna Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Problems installing Epidata 4.6.0.6 on Windows 10 Home
by EpiData development and support 03 Jul '21

Hi, I’m having trouble installing and opening EpiData Manager and EntryClient 4.6.0.6 on a brand new Windows 10 Home laptop. After completing the ‘All in one installer’ process, double clicking the shortcut icons does not open any application. On checking the Windows Application Logs, I see the following error message for both Manager and Client: Faulting application name: epidatamanager.exe, version: 4.6.0.6, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: libeay32.dll, version: 1.0.2.5, time stamp: 0x56618848 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000000ca23 Faulting process ID: 0x2584 Faulting application start time: 0x01d7686c70eb6c7f Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\EpiData\epidatamanager.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\EpiData\libeay32.dll Report ID: 5ea1974a-9f7a-435c-90ac-006cc7a19264 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I have switched off all anti-virus software but this also didn’t fix the problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thanks so much in advance!

I would like to thank Jens, Torsten and Jamie for their stirling work. I am facilitator of an online module (part of the PGDPH) at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. We have about 750 students enrolled for the module (620 just completed and 130 will be starting on Monday in a second offering) and we decided to use EpiData as the software of choice for data entry and management for all the good reasons that people know about. Many of the students use Apple Mac computers and, of these, an increasing number are using Catalina or Big Sur as their OS. When our first module started 8 weeks ago several students using Catalina really struggled to install and use EpiData; most had to then borrow or buy a Windows computer to do the 1 week modulette on EpiData. I contacted Jens, about ten days ago, and two days ago I received a reply that he would be upgrading the current public release to assist our students. This adds an enormous amount of value as more and more students in Africa are working with Apple Mac computers, and it is reassuring for us that EpiData will continue to be developed and upgraded for the benefit of these students. Many thanks gentlemen! Brendan Girdler-Brown +27 (0)11 477 7865 +27 (0) 66 077 1295
