Dear EpiData list.
As of this morning (danish time) new test versions of both EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient have been released on our testing website:
http://epidata.dk/testing.php Please be aware that the back-end code for the testing website have been changed, so if you experience any problems with downloading the files please report directly to me on: tc "at" epidata.dk
The major changes for these version are:
* A "timed recovery backup" system has been implemented in the EntryClient. At a given interval (this is set in EpiData Manager within "Project->Settings->General") a recovery backup is save to disk with the same filename as the project file but with an additional extension ".bak". On a clean close of the program this file is deleted, hence a regular user should not notice the existence of this file, but if the program crashes unexpectedly the file will remain an upon trying to load the original file, the user is informed that a recovery file exist and advised to load the recovery file. * In addition to the "timed recovery backup" system, it is no also possible to specify that a complete backup of the project file is taken on close/shutdown (again, this is specified in EpiData Manager). The backup is NOT used as part of the timed recovery system, hence the used is not noted of the existence upon loading the original file. This is merely meant as a "daily backup" feature, that gives the user the possibility of storing backups of the daily work. In the future this option is probably going to be a lot more configurable by the manager, but for now the original file is "just" stored with the same filename, but containing the date of saving. * Both Manager and EntryClient now has a feature that allow for checking on-line if a new version of the program exists. This naturally requires an active Internet connection, but if no such exists a non-fatal warning is given. * In addition to the above a small number of bug-fixes and speed improvements have also been implemented.
Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. EpiData Association.
While using the latest version of this manager I am missing the option in SETTINGS , to make fieldnames invissible as it used to be possible in the first version, Also the whole appearance of the OPTIONS-window is much nicer in the first version . Is it possible to make that work again? Louk Meertens

Dear Louk
This option have been moved to Project->Settings->Fields.
The reasoning behind this is, that showing fieldnames on the form is a decision made by the project manager, hence it is a choice that stays with the project.

Thanks for your fast info Torsten Bonde Christiansen,
Now I have something else : In the latest manager when I use the button :ADD STRUCTURE FROM FILE and a RECfile is used, it is not working correctly when de fieldnames in the recfile resemble much the Questions in the recfile. The Fieldnames are then given as V1, V2 etc.
Using the button IMPORT DATAFILE with the same recfile works a little better but it looks as if the manager gets confused! Stress ? or overworked?
I add the recfile that I used as a separate file to this mail ,the name is GI40404.REC.
Yours, Louk . ===============================================
