Problem with export to Excel
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hello everybody I just started to work with EpiData-Manager v1.4.2 this week. I was able to create a data entry form (questionnaire) and did start with data Input. After having finished the data entry of 3 patientforms I tried to export the data into an Excel-sheet (CSV-file). The problem is, that I am not able to fill in an excel-table properly. Instead of filling each heading into a seperate column in the excel-sheet everything is put into the first cell in the first column and separeted with a comma. More or less the same thing happens if I try to export my data with DDI. The only difference is that instead of commas the space-bar is used to separate the data in the line. Furthermore, some data is copied twice into the exported file. I will add a Word-document with screenshots, so your able to see what I'm referring to. I'd like to ask if you could help me to solve the problem (as a note: the same happend when I tried to export data out of the example form that was included in the download). Thanks in advance. Kind regards Sabine Kuster University Hospital Basel © 2013 MicrosoftTérminos

Dear friends, some questions: 1) the length of the string in the generated .sps file is always 3 times the definition of the length of the string in Manager. for example: VL3 27-35(A) S1 145-204(A) in .sps but the length of S1 is 20 and that of VL3 is 3 in sample.v2.epx 2) How do I use the mssing values defined in Valuelabel Editor to set the missing values of the variables in SPSS? 3) Can I define the values of boolean type variables as 1 or 0? Thanks for your help advance!

I use EpiData 3.1. In one of my projects I encountered a strange problem: The qes file contains 78 variables in total. Among them there are about 50 Y/N(1/0) variables. When I enter data into the rec file by EpiData and enter a series of "N"(0) for these Y/N variables ,the EpiData begins producing a prompting frame showing : "Access violation at addrss 00000000. Read of address 00000000." I have to hit the "OK" button repeatedly to make the prompting frames disappear. After they disappear, the program in chk file seems having stopped working. How can I enter my data normally?

01 Nov '13

Dear List. Today we have released new test version of Manager and EntryClient. This is a minor update on the release from last week, where we identified and fixed a small number of issues. We have had no comment on the new .lock file system during the week and if no further issues arise in the comming week we intend to release these version as the next stable release. The changes for this test release are: Both: * A text change during save and the .lock file is missing. * Fixed a bug related to non-ASCII characters in filename/path EpiData Manager: * Added a delimiter option to SPSS Export. * Changed naming of exports/double entry/backup to include current cycle number. * "Count-by-id" report updated to work on fields with same name, but different types. * Spelling corrections. The download is available from: http://epidata.dk/testing.php Kind regards, Torsten B. Christianse & Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association, Denmark.

New test versions of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Dear All. Today we have released new test versions of both EpiData Manager (1.4.3.2) and EpiData EntryClient (1.4.3.1). This release has two major focus points: 1) Handling the case where two users/programs tries to open the same file. 2) Make forms/windows behave uniformly in regards to storing position & size, and closing using shortcuts. In addition a number of minor issue have been fixed and added: With regards to (1) we have implemented a new principle to handle the case where two programs wants to access the same file simultaneously. This is done by maintaining a lock file (taking the name of the project file and adding a .lock as suffix), which contains the locking information. Keep in mind that this does not prevent two users from overwriting the same project file, but the programs have a much better chance of detecting a possible problem before it even arises. We have tested the lock file system extensively and found it more reliable than the current method, which basically just checks the timestamp of the project. However since it is a very new feature some issues may still exist so if you experience any problems please report the problems on this mailing list or to the bugtracker: http://www.epidata.info/flyspray/ The complete list of changes Both programs: * All forms can be closed using ESC, and positions & sizes are kept on close. * Added a shortcut to browse data (Ctrl + D or Cmd + D) * The list of recent files is kept up-to-date, even if both programs are opened at the same time. * A short message is given when copying the version information to clipboard. Manager: * Changed shortcut for "Extend Page" (Ctrl + Enter, Cmd + Enter) * Default field length for Integer field changed to 1 (was 2) * Other minor text changes in reports. EntryClient: * Added shortcut to Print and Print With Data. Please report comments and errors on this list, including version of the software in which you found the error. The software is available from : http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php If no major errors or bugs are reported the version 1.4.3 will replace the current public download version.
