Hi Henrik,

Hopefully you have found an answer to your question by now. Otherwise, have a look at the following example (an adaption of the house example on www.epidata.dk):

-------------- Begin primary.chk --------------

DEFINE TEMPVAR __________ GLOBAL

var1 AFTER ENTRY TEMPVAR = var1 END END

-------------- End primary.chk --------------

-------------- Begin related.chk --------------

* set var1 (or any other var) in the BEFORE RECORD step or ... BEFORE RECORD var1 = TEMPVAR END

* ... set it in the BEFORE ENTRY STEP of the variable (i.e. var1)

var1 BEFORE ENTRY var1 = TEMPVAR END END

-------------- End related.chk --------------

If the variable in question is your identifier, use the -KEY [UNIQUE]- command instead - see the house example. Use the -RELATE- command to relate your data sheets (again, see house example).

Dear EpiData users.

I have a small problem with EpiData which I was hoping someone had the answer for?

Setup:

I have two tables of data which are related to each other.

In the primary data table (stamdata) I have a variable which I want to repeat in the related data table (spørgeskemaer). I have seen on EpiData's homepage that this is a feature EpiData can handle, however, I do not know how to set it up?

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

Henrik.
