SV: [EpiData-list] Epidata Manager key unique handling
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

All you have to do, is to define a key, which you find under project properties. After definition of a key, only one observation can be entered for each value. In entryclient a key is always what was "key unique" in Classic Epidata 3.1.

Dear all, I have tried to use epidata manager & client. The Entry client is not indicating on duplicate entry of id field as in Epi data classic 3.1. Please let me know if there is any option to give message just after entering the key field and stop the entry to next fields. Thanks & best regards, Rasool Bux ________________________________ This e-mail may contain information that is privileged or confidential.

transferring a field value

Dear Epidata users I am facing a problem transferring a field value from a parent file to a child file. In the parent file I have initial SRQ (srqinit) and I want the same value to appear in the chiled file. I did the following: In the parent file before file Define Gsrqinit ## Global srqinit MUSTENTER AFTER ENTRY LET Gsrqinit=srqinit END END In the child file BEFORE RECORD srqinit=varsrqinit END However, this doesn't seem to work. Your help will be most appreciated. Mohammed -- *---------------------------------------------------------*

Relational database
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Hi there I have created a relational database for two files. A pre-entry data file (parent file) and an intake file (child file). the relate command is working well. However, when finishing information entry in the child file and go back to the main file using F10 , EpiData doesn't take me automatically to a new parent file but to the previous file and a new parent file will only open when using the navigation bottom. Also when I fill in the second parent file and automatically move to the child file, I found the information entered for the previous child file. Hope you can help me solving this problem Thanks Mohamed -- *---------------------------------------------------------*

Which type of testing is good for securing stable software and enhance development ?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Dear all As you can see in the recent days communication on the list aspects of the "relate" system has been tested and in a collaborating process btw. V. Høgli and T.Christiansen, the issue of a wrongly place information window was clarified. This is exactly the type of correspondence which is helpful to the development. So therefore I encourage with time and interest in the future function and stable software developed to take part. It does not mean that all should spent days and weeks, but just a small exercise of say half an hour twice a week is not much for each of you. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Software Initiator and coordinator Denmark

Torsten, Seems you located the problem:-) Funny though, the same phenomenon appears in Windows 7. The "show all button" is greyed out, but the other fix - Selecting Edit - Default windows position before I open any project, and then restart EDM fixes the problem. Glad if this testing can be useful.

"Then set as key" - embarrassed to admit - Still don't get it: Here's exactly what I do: 1. Define new project 2. Save as myfile (even tried without save first) 3. click on Dataform 1 4. Define field name IDNO Integer length 4 5. Apply, then close field properties pane 6. Select IDNO field with select tool (small boxes appear enclosing selected field) 7. Click on Dataform button (or menu item) - then choose Define key 8. Freeze - Nothing happens, not possible to define new dataform, not able to save or edit field, have to kill process in program manager (windows), small green plus sign when hovering mouse over field (OSX). Where do I go wrong? anyway: apparent program freeze should be replaced by error message if I do something in the wrong order, like for example: when I tried to add a child dataform first, i get the error message: must create at least one key first.

When I do this, I do not get an error. MacBook Pro (2009, Core 2 duo) with OSX 10.9.4 (Mavericks with all current updates). So you have to do a Force Quit on your Mac? Have you checked the error logs to see if there is an error from EDM? I�e seen some errors at times that have been useful.
