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,

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

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!

Dear Jens and Team,
Congratulations Great release (RC1)
We devote lot of time in Editor also for meaningful output.
Please incorporate the function of “Adjust the colour of the Editor background also”.
e.g. #000000 is black.

Dear all
From today you will find on the website at
http://www.epidata.dk/download.php
The new public release versions are:
EpiData Manager and EntryClient version 4.6.0.6
EpiData Analysis version 3.2.0.0
The main new aspect is that Analysis now has a dialogue as an assisting
tool for creating analysis commands with most options for frequencies,
tables, describe and ctable. Find this in the menu point "Analysis".
In addition the whole principle of development is in re-design, such
that future updates should be easier to manage within the project.
You should notice that the current release versions will be the final
ones for 32 bit systems (older computers). The reason is that the
maintenance of all possible aspects for as well 32 and 64 bit versions
for as well Windows, Linux and Mac OS has become too cumbersome. The 32
bit versions (4.6.0.6 or 3.2.0.0) will remain downloadable from the
page: http://www.epidata.dk/download32.php
In short time the main download page will be adapted to contain only 64
bit versions and links to Classic EpiData and the 32 bit versions. The
adaptation will also complete updating of other aspects, e.g. content of
"latest changes" files.
Thanks to the implementation and development of principles by Torsten
Christiansen and Jamie Hockin (struggling with Mac aspects), plus
guidance from Hans Rieder and coordination/managing efforts by myself
the project continues.
Without the continued comments and downloads that we can see from all
users we would not be motivated to continue, so thanks for that.
The current aim is to include all functions available in classic
EpiData.(whether to include "before/after blocks" will be decided later).
After our summer period here (july-august) development will continue
with graphs in analysis and other aspects.

Good day,
In our University we run a course on-line and students learn how to use
EpiData as well as Stata during the course.
We encountered a problem with the students who use Apple Mac computers and
who are using Catalina OS. It appears that EpiData does not run properly in
Catalina environment. They can download and install a beta version but that
does not allow saving, for example, or export to Stata; so they are unable
to submit assignments requiring the preparation of questionnaires, data
entry or export to Stata.
It affects about 20 of our 600 students.
Does anyone have any solution to suggest?
Dear all
A new test release has been placed on www.epidata.dk/testing.php
The changes will be released as public version after implementation of a
few more changes and tests.
Users are invited to test the following new features and improvements:
- but remember as always to work on test data and copies of projects.
Major new feature in Analysis:
Dialogs for statistics
A visual form which will create the command
- like in Analysis ClassicSpeed of reading projects has been improved
EntryClient, Manager and Analysis work in Mac (64 bit - latest OS)
A number of bug-fixes and internal clarifications to manage definitions
of missing data and tables have been implemented. Most of this is
important improvements, but should not be visible to the user, apart
from reading of files being much faster.
One of the difficulties is to ensure correct implementation of
procedures for encryption, user control of entry (logging) and the way
the operating systems control access to the encryption libraries.
Increasingly in many organizations user have only restricted access to
their own computer making it difficult to write software - without
paying licenses to e.g. Microsoft and Apple.
The test versions are provided as zip/tgz compressed files. Make sure
that you unzip all content with maintained folder/directory structure
Please comment on the list if you have problems/suggestions or
experiences with the updated versions.
One note is that after unzipping and opening you should resize the
dialogs in Analysis if you have a Mac computer. Otherwise some of the
content is not sufficiently intuitive to use (we are working on that).
As always the changes were made in a collaborative effort of Torsten
B.Christiansen, Jamie Hockin , Hans Rieder and I. Torsten does the main
software desing and programming and Jamie added important aspects of Mac
function and dialog implementation.
best wishes

Dear EpiData List
Would anyone know how to run EpiData Entry on a Mac Computer.
When I try to download, I get the message:
Epidataentry needs to be updated. (To the current version of MAC).
Kind regards,
Jannie

Hello,
First, I would to thanks the Epidata team for the great job done so far.
Recently, in a database with a main form and several child forms (single or repeated), we observed at the end of the study several duplicate forms for several patients.
This can happen on a 1 to 1 relationship or on a 1 to many relationships.
We checked the properties of all datasets. They have been properly established to ensure that each record is unique.
We have performed some tests to reproduce the issue and found that the issue occurs when a key field is exited with the mouse, or when a form is exited using the mouse to choose a new form to fill in the left panel of the screen instead of leaving the form with the last filled field.
When this happens, the user can browse the forms and enter a duplicate visits without warning.
Under these circumstances, the "Save Form" dialog box appeared twice.
These bugs can be reproduced with the child-bug.epx (joined file) database using the following procedure:
Add a new patient
Fill out the main form with a new patient:
Patient n ° 45
Age: 2 years
Height: 90 (do not use Enter key)
After typing 90 on the keyboard, use the mouse to select the inclusion data form.
After this action, the "Save Record" dialog box appears twice instead of once when the Height field is exited with the Enter key.
Once the focus is on the inclusion form, enter today's date and weight e.g. 12 kg (do not use the enter key).
After typing 12 on the keyboard, use the mouse to select the Visits form.
Once the visit form is displayed, select the inclusion form again. Instead of displaying the data entered previously, the form is empty and the completed forms counter is zero, add the current date and a weight.
If you repeat this operation several times, you can complete more than one form.
The number of child forms filled is only "correctly" displayed when the patient is exited and selected again.
I hope these information will help to solve the problem.
Best regards

Dear Jens
A request. Could you or any of the resource people make a short podcast on the use of the updated epidata analysis?
Or are there any resources available for this online i/ we can access
Thanks in advance
