Hi Does anyone know what is this when I try to install epidata manager? I'm using Ubuntu 13.04: Lintian check results for /home/mcardeal/Downloads/setup.epidatamanager.1.4.2.0-0_i386.deb: E: epidatamanager: control-file-has-bad-permissions postinst 0775 != 0755 This started happening after the last update EpiData (July 2013). While reinstalling several times the error message continues. Thanks Mauricio Federal University of Bahia, Brazil

Dear Jens When i use epidata manager and export the data to SPSS i face a problem. In the SPSS datafile created, 2 or 3 variables get combined into 1 variable in the data for example the age , sex all are in one column;however in the same file if i look at the variable view,i see all data separately with the value labels separate and the codes separately. I contacted PSPP user group online and they suggested that this could be an issue with the epidata manager I hope you can help Thanks Thambu much obliged Thambu

Data validation using the same file
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Hi, This may sound silly but I feel that I need to report this. When I tried to do the double entry validation using one single file (i.e. I selected one epx file twice for the purpose of validation), EpiData Manager did not prevent me to do this. It produced a report which, of course, has no discrepancy. I tried this on both EpiData Manager (v1.5.0.10) and (v1.4.2). Both gave me the same result. Below is an excerpt of the validation report I just created showing validation was attempted using the same epx file. ======================================== Report: Double Entry Validation Report. Created: 2013-08-31 04:40:35 ======================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------ File 1: C:\Users\Zaw Myo Tun\Documents\EpiData\examples\sample.epx File 2: C:\Users\Zaw Myo Tun\Documents\EpiData\examples\sample.epx ------------------------------------------------------------------ Best wishes, Zaw

technical question on transferring cyrillic letters from epidata dataset to spss
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Hello, My colleagues in Kazakhstan have entered data. The personal identifier that I need to link the records to another database includes numbers and Cyrillic letters. The letters are not exported correctly from Epidata, neither when saved as an excel-file or as an text-file. I would like to do the analysis in SPSS. I hope someone has experience with this and knows a solution on how to export Cyrillic letters into SPSS! Thanks in advance, Susan van den Hof ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal #####################################################################################

The major problems relate to the EntryClient not to the Project Manager. Obviously we have strengthened the internal test routines to include more samples.

The task of simulating user behaviour before releasing a test version is not an easy one.

Delete data or records

20 Aug '13

Delete data or records I have made one test in my Entry-file. I have saved one record in the Entry-file, now I can’t change, delete or save in my Manger-file. I have also tried to rename and import again. It continues to link back and report that the file contains data entered earlier. There comes a warning with "Fields contains data" and when I say yes to delete, I can’t subsequently be allowed to save. The report "Access violation" press Ok to ignore and risk data corruption or Press cancel to kill the program " Question: -How can I delete or empty data or records in a Entry file. (I have tried the delete function in Entry) The file is made in version 1.4.1. the file is an epx file made on my MacBook. I have installed the new version 1.4.2.

Jamie, thank you very much indeed. I have to say that the fields are within a section and that after aligning them it doesn't work as I want.

The actual position (it's in pixels) can be adjusted by moving fields around. With the latest version, it is easy to align fields.

As I copied blocks of the fields, the end result is that the order of the fields (tab order) is not what I am expecting. Is there a way to modify the "tab" order of the fields?. > Your assistance will be very helpful as it is about a large number of fields. > Kind regards, > Jorge ------------------------------ ________________________________________ EpiData-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list End of EpiData-list Digest, Vol 118, Issue 4 ********************************************

Manager/ EntryClient: values of result field after Validate Duplicate Files

Dear users, I am just about to get familiar with EpiData Manager and have a question regarding the variable Double Entry Verification Status that is optionally added after performing Duplicate Files Validation. First of all: Thank you to the developers what a great option to add this result field. As it has already been described before, The values for the created variable are: 0 = Validated 1 = Record does not exist in duplicate file 2 = Failed due to different text 3 = Failed due to different values 4 = Duplicate key exists If have performed some fake validation and all errors have been detected correctly. However: The erroneous record had only the value 0 in the result field. I would have expected it to be 3 since it contained errors in some of the numeric fields. Did I understand something wrong with that or did I make any mistake by using this option? Why did all my records have the value 0 even if some of them failed validation? Thanks a lot in advance for your answers! Best regards, Malgorzata Schlöffel
