My English is bad and I apologize for that.
My research instrument contains 21 questions to be answered for 12 disciplines in a course. The number of respondents is approximately 100 people.
Each question will be answered for all disciplines. I am attaching an example with three questions (one question for each file.)
When finished entering the data of 12 disciplines in question 3, I want go to the file Quest which is the first issue, data entry of a new student.
Note that I used the RELATE command in questions 1 and 2.
FQ2 AFTER ENTRY IF fq2=1 THEN RELATE QUEST q3 ENDIF END END

You should look at the command "relate" in the help file.
To see a specific implementation I suggest you download these three and look at the check files: *1 Relate example - Clinical Study with four forms **2 Relate example - Multilevel, Village, Family, Person - Nutritional survey of region in Burkina Faso **3 Relate example - hospital infections - 3 examples*
You find it all at http://www.epidata.dk/examples.php
Let us know how it works at the end - your example could be added to the examples page. (without proper data obviously)

You probably mean "records" rather than files?
If so, it is simple, no commands are needed in the CHK file of the related file, just press F10 to return to the parent file, whenever you have entered the last of the child records belonging to one given parent.

Dear Silvano Cesar da Costa, One reliable way to approach this is to close the files in reverse order until the edit pencil is pointed to the start(in your case may be file 1). *As general rule*: To enter data in relational database you must either move down the tree through the field that contains the Relate command, or move up the tree by closing the rec.files. On closing file21.rec the cursor should go back to file20.rec so on. Pressing F10 or CTRL+R ( return key) closes the file and moves the cursor/edit pencil back one level to the data files that called RELATE.
Hope this would help.

The file structure seems to be more complicated than is necessary. If all of the files Q1, Q2, ... are exactly the same structure, just add another field to indicate the discipline and enter all of the discipline questions (12 x 21) in a single file (I'll call this DISCQ).
In QUEST, you have the relate the way you do now.
You can actually program the chk file for DISCQ to change the discipline and question numbers automatically if you want, provided that the data are always in exactly the same order. Or you can use REPEATS to repeat the discipline number until all of the questions for that discipline are answered.
When you have finished entering all of the 12x21 questions, just hit <F10> to go back to the QUEST file. The way your files are structured now, I think you have to hit <F10> 12 times to go back from Q12.rec to QUEST.rec.
