Thanks for the suggestion. Even if I have full administator rights for my laptop I did think about that possibility and had already been in touch with our IT people but they could not work it out.

Hello, I have three questions : - When will the command "combine" be operating in Epidata Analysis ? - The second variable (qualitative in statistics) for the command "means" ("sexe" in the command "means age sexe") must be, in theory, string and created, in Epidata Entry, by "variable _". When it will be possible instead necessity of numeric variable ? - The command "update" and the screen with data tables cannot modify data : on the screen, the data are changed and not in the file... Why ? Thank you Bernard Branger, Nantes, France

replicate datafile structure, without the data
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 07 Sep '06

I will be conducting a survey study very similar to one I've done before. I want to use the same datafile structure: the questions, datatypes, and checks will be nearly identical. Is there an easy way to produce a new set of .rec, .qes, and .chk files, replicas of the old ones, but with no records? Then I can make some small modifications before entering the new data. I'd hate to half to do it all again from scratch. Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.
