Hello, I have encountered a problem with exporting an Epidata file ending epx. When trying to export, I receive the following message and the export won't go through: Project has incorrect XML version! Max supported XML Version: 3 Project XML Version: 4 Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I have downloaded the latest version of Epidata Manager on my MAC.

Issues when exporting into Stata 13
by EpiData development and support 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi - two things that I've become aware of when exporting data into Stata 13 using EpiData Manager:- 1) My interview dates have all had 60 years added to them, so instead of my interviews being recorded as taking place in 2016 they are recorded as happening in 2076. The day and month are correct. 2) I've exported my value labels, but only the first letter of these is displaying in the browse mode in Stata (though if I tabulate a variable the value labels do show in full in the table). Is there any way of correcting these problems from within EpiData, rather than from within Stata? Thanks Keith

EpiData Manager closing without warning when trying to set up double-data entry
by EpiData development and support 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi - has anyone else run into this problem? I have created a project in EpiData Manager, and have created a duplicate project for double data-entry using Tools>Prepare Double Entry. I have entered some data into the duplicate project and now I want to compare the two. I open EpiData Manager again, open my first project, and then go to Document>Compare Duplicate Files. I get the double-entry validation screen from which I use the 'Add Files' button to add my second project. But before I can even do that EpiData Manager closes without warning. I have tried rebooting my computer, reinstalling epidata manager and removing the password which I had put on the original project, but nothing seems to solve this problem. Before setting up the duplicate project I did move the original project to a new location and rename it. I wonder if this could, somehow, be part of the problem? Any help very gratefully received, as we are planning to introduce the new version of EpiData for teaching this year.

Dear Konan Diby, Currently Epidata is meant for desktop and not mobile, I stand for correction.However there are various version of other software which are free you can use for your data collection. CSpro and Epiinfo are some public software you can use for free and they have mobile platform. Hope this information, will be useful to you.

SAS export
by EpiData development and support 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi all, I have a problem with SAS export in Epidata manager (v2.0.8.56). The SAS program generated by the software is unable to read the CSV file created. In other words, the program is written to import fixed column file and The CSV is comma separated. Has anybody a solution to fix the problem? (Except rewriting the SAS program to fit the datafile format) Thanks, Jean-Marc VIRION Service d'Épidémiologie & Évaluation Cliniques Centre d'Épidémiologie Clinique, CIC-EC Inserm CHRU de Nancy

EpiData question / help
by EpiData development and support 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

HI I am accustomed to using JUMP when the 'jump to' questions are the next (consecutive) questions. IS there a way to use JUMP or something else to 'jump to' a future question ? For example, here is the order of the questions : Q1 Age Q2 Status 1=Self 2=Other Q3 Gender 1=Female 2=Male Q4 Systolic blood pressure Q5 Diastolic blood pressure Q6 Height Q7 Weight JUMP if Q2=1 then Jump to Q4 (the order Q2, Q3, Q4) if Q2=2 then Jump to Q6 (the order Q2, Q3, Q6) Thank you.

aggregate counts

Dear colleagues from my rec file with individual data I created and aggregate file with district, agegroup and year of notification. For each combination I have a cummulative count of cases. Now I am not able to use this aggregate table as it was possible in Epiinfo v6. Something like: sumtable agegroup n /by=district (to have a agegroup table with cumulative numbers for each district) Thanks for advise -- Vladimír Príkazský tel: +46 858 601 636 fax: +46 858 601 001 mobil: +46 *720 436 206* _____________________________ Motto: :-) Kam chodi slunce, nechodi doktor!

Child records
by EpiData development and support 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Dear all, I have experienced the same thing in the past. But I must admit that it's really brilliant what epiData has done. In the dataform property of child form, there are two options to choose for having records. No limit (If we want limitless numbers of child records, this is the option) fixed limit (which EpiData has set its value to 1 by default) Because of option 2, more than one child records can't be created. And option 1 or 2 with big numbers will be the solution to creating more than one child records.
