In my experience you can write a longer check file with any editor also the internal editor, but the part above and beyond 64kb gets stripped of as soon as start using it in association with the QES file e.g. when you create a rec file or start entering data. Henriette

The manual says that there is a 64kb limit to the size of a check file. Is this true if one uses an external editor or just the EpiData internal editor?
