Hello, and thank you very much all of you; Jonas, Hans and Zaw Myo Tun for your kindness to give me advice on my question on "How to change the title of en already existing qes- and rec.file without loosing data". I followed the instructions given from Jonas and it worked ! I also did the same with the check.file that belonged to these qes and rec.files and it worked also.
Before i changed the title, I added 4 new variables to my qes .fiel and than I followed the instuctions in the Help file and Tools -->Revise DataFile.
Best regards Susann Regber

Dear Susann:
"Title", "File Label" or "File name"?
Title: Change the title in the QES file, save the file, do not make a REC file, but 4. Enter data, and you will be prompted to adjust the REC file to the new QES file Label: Read the REC file in EpiData analysis, and use the command "labeldata", eg. labeldata "My new label for the data file" File name: Just rename both QES and REC file in Explorer.
Regards,
Hans

Hello,
I assume what you mean by "Title in qes and rec file" is what you typed in .qes file from which .rec file was made. If so, you can easily edit the "Title" in qes file as you want. Please be sure that the field names and definitions are not changed. Then, revise the old rec file with the newly edited qes file (by going to Tools --> revise data file). By doing so, your data won't be harmed.
best regards,
Zaw Myo Tun

Sections will be great to have! Everything described works on a Mac. Placement of sections sometimes fails to open the dialogue box to name the section, rendering the section as a white box, but not editable.

The development of the EpiData Manager has now come to a new stage, where test versions will be released with shorter intervals. The release will happen in these steps: a. Test placement of fields in data entry forms. Move fields, add sections. Only one form is allowed. Edit variable labels (questions).

Hi
You can change the name of the ques and rec files directely in the folder (ie with files closed). It is important that you have exactly identical names of the qes and rec files. I would recommend that you first make a copy of the original qes and rec (right-click --> copy. Right-click again --> paste) files and then change the names of the copies (they will br named "Copy of yourfile.qes" and "Copy of yourfile.rec"
