Changing color of a field: Re: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 44, Issue 7 - EpiData-list

27 Jun 2007

      Hi, i'm a new user of epidata, but already familiar with epi6. This is my
first time replying to an inquiry, and hope to provide some tips or at least
initiate an idea to solving an inquiry.
To change the color of a field, a noenter or otherwise, you can have it
defined at the beginning of a check file using the BEFORE FILE command,
specifying the name of a field, and the color you want:
BEFORE FILE
COLOR vname color
(i'm out in a field right now,  i do not have access to my own pc, just
using an internet cafe pc without epidata, so i can not provide more details
on the command.)
Thanks. . .

Hi epidata users !
Please, how can I change the color of a noenter field ? I tried modify
it using the colour function into a before block, but it works for every
field except the noenter field.
I also tried to change the epidata.ini file, but it doesn´t work anyway.
Where is my mistake ?
I´d like to change the grey colour to another stronger one.
Thank you very much.
Mauricio

Hi Mauricio;
The noenter function hides the field, so it is nor reachable. So, I doubt
there is a way to modify its color.

Dear list,
I have two questions regarding Jumps in EpiData Entry.

I want to jump to variable v10 if de score for v8 is 1 to 7. Of course

this works:
v8
   RANGE 1 9
   COMMENT LEGAL USE oplcat
   JUMPS
     1 v10
     2 v10
     3 v10
     4 v10
     5 v10
     6 v10
     7 v10
   END
   MUSTENTER
END
Is a shorter syntax possible and if so, how?

Is it possible to make a jump defination that depends on the value

entered in a previous question?
For example:
After entering the value for variable v5 I want to jump to v8 if the
answer
on question v3=1.
Kind Regards,

Hi Pieter,
You can use a "IF... THEN..." syntax instead of "JUMP".
For your examples:
V8
  AFTER ENTRY
   IF (V8 > 0 AND V8 < 8) THEN GOTO V10
  END
END
V5
  AFTER ENTRY
   IF V3 = 1 THEN GOTO V8
  END
END
As you can see, this is pretty easy!
Regards
