Hi there,
As I am not sure what information you have in your hands, I assume you could add check before the data entry and chose the *repeat* option for the required field information. Consequently, the information will remain until you changed it.
Best wishes

Hello,
I think the best way to get round this problem is to have a relational data base with two files: (i) the "Master" file with patient's information (ii) the related file with daily information
There are several examples of such related data entry and how it works on the Epidata website
Hope this helps

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to copy and paste an entry? I am entering data for patients at a hospital by day, and each time I enter a new day's entry I have to re-type the patients' information. Is there a way to copy a previous entry for a patient and paste it on the new entry? Please help me as this adds a large amount of time to my work.

See the example titled "Relate example - Clinical Study with four forms" on the Examples page - click on the link on the main page at epidata.dk This is how to structure the related files. See the example titled "Relate example - Household, Person, Visit" to see how to copy information from one entry screen to another--you do this with GLOBAL variables.
This is a very common set up for clinical records.
