RE: EpiData-list Digest, Vol 85, Issue 6
I am using EpiData Verion 3.1. I did send a screenshot, but apparently only text is allowed by the list.
Many thanks,
Shakeel

I don't use epidata very often, so this is probably a very basic question. I have created a form, but when I preview it, there are a few questions where the questions and answer boxes overlap (as shown in the attached). There is no overlap in design view and I am struggling to work out why this is happening. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Shakeel Suleman

Dear Shakeel
I think you forgot to attach the screenshot you mention.
Also please tell which program that you refer to, the "old" Entry program or the test version the "new" EpiData EntryClient program.
Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. EpiData Association.

re:

The current policy is that any posting to the epidata-list system must be smaller than 35kb, which in practice excludes bitmaps such as screenshots. For the example from Shakeel the size was around 65kb which for some of us is very small, but if one is one a slow modem line is large. All web pages on EpiData.dk are aimed at being at most around 10-20k without pictures and other "nice features" precisely with the aim of minimising band-width usage.
It could be good with some inputs from list members whether the policy should be relaxed, e.g. that we set the limit at 65k instead of 35k for postings. In particular those who are living in areas where slow speed internet is an issue.

I would keep the limit small, but 65K is certainly OK for me. That may not be enough for a screen shot. Any reproducible error in Entry should become apparent with the .qes, .chk and .rec files AND knowing the font and font size set in options.

Just a little sidenote for this discussion that could also be considered.
There exists several places on the internet where it is free to post an image, for instance the free http://imagebin.org/ is a good website to place small to medium sized images that can be access publicly.
Once an image has been posted to such a site, the site itself give you a link, which can be included with in the email to this list.
Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. EpiData Association.
ps: a link could be like this: http://imagebin.org/122927 (remember the image is temporary and will at max be available for 2 weeks).
There was no need for screenshots in this example nor would it have been desirable, the actual QES file would have been more informative and smaller in size as well. To me it is pleasing to obtain mail with this limited size.
