Dear All! As we celebrate the 1000 downloads,we apreciate the effort of the free sharing of the softwares and kudos to the programmers and the entire team.In Ghana, everyone that is introduce to this software is amaze but the problem is that it does not work as a database software as compare to EpInfo 3** (windows version).In view of this i appeal to anyone to help the Epidata team to develop this to higher version.

Good Colleagues Although I did not manage to catch who downloaded the number 1000 of analysis after release of v1.0 I think it is worth mentioning. It seems like the product is being received quite well. Regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

How to: What do I do when Installation says "Unknown Publisher"
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

With Windows XP a new system has been invoked where software developers can add certificates to the software making sure from where a certain software comes. To get such a certificate for EpiData costs some funding. Maybe it is worthwhile paying and maybe not. Another "running cost" without other aspect than having an external certification office, e.g. verisign telling that software from http://www.epidata.dk is certified to come from epidata.dk is maybe not needed. What users can do to certify that there is no problem in installing EpiData software and be sure that there is no problem with this is: 1. Always get copies of software directly from Http://www.epidata.dk 2. Add "Http://www.epidata.dk" to "trusted websites" in 2a - firewall 2b - instllation policy of the individual user PC 2c - installation and software policy of the institution. Until someone finds a "software publisher certificate" essential and wishes to fund the issuing of a certificate I think funding is better spent on development. So in short: When the installation message says "Unknown publisher" - if you downloaded the software from Http://www.epidata.dk/download.php you can say yes to the install. If your system prevents this, then follow the advice points 2a-2c and try again. Kind regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association ps. Very few bugs have been documented in analysis. In the solving of those present undocumented updated versions for testing will be available as www.epidata.dk/downloads/setupepidatastattest.exe When a coming build is available for test this will be mentioned at the test page as usual- avialable through the link on the left side of the main menu.

Hi Epidata-list I tried several times to install EPIDATA ANALYSIS but unsuccesfully and the following message appears "Unknown Publisher".

Double Entry problem with range control in last field/variable on form
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

With the very precise description: "Does anyone know of a workaround that would allow me to preserve error checking on the last variable without encountering this problem (short of changing the order the questions, which would confuse data enterers)...perhaps a way to hard code a record advance into the check file? " With such a precise formulation it is possible to remove the error - not by workaround. In other words - the discussion on the list is very important to outline problems and find where the exact cause of a problem is. When a precise reproducible description can be made - this points to a specific part of the programme which can then be fixed. The fix will be part of next release of epidata entry.

Hi; Did you try to uncheck the option (files/options /advanced) 'Show errors that occur in calculations ...' I noticed that it sometimes 'unblocks' checks that would otherwise either freeze the application or cause an unexpected behavior.
