Thank you all for the help you offered me... However, i have not managed to get around my problem. It seems that Jens Lauritsen did not understand my real issue and Hans explained that i did not exactly specify the error i received. Here is what exactly happens. Am using Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) and Epidata analysis 2.2.1.171. I read the rec files well, and the commands execute well .... but the problem comes when i open the Editor. After writing my code in the editor and try to run (whether Run selected or Run all), it brings this error "Cannot create file "C:\Users\Edson\AppData\Local\Temp\TMP9C60.Tmp". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process", When i try again, the error still comes but the TMP***.Tmp file keeps changing... However if i keep trying to run (whether Run selected or Run all), it final executes and brings my analysis.. When i tried to check online i came across this post (http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2010q4/001618.html) which i highly believe had the same problem.. However in Jens Lauritsen's answer, he advises to correct the path (see the link above) in the edit setup ini file.. I dont see where to change that path in my ini file... below is how my ini file looks like; what exactly do i have to change! * EpiData Analysis default settings file * Edit the next lines to change size or font set echo=on * Viewer font and size: (plus editor and help windows) set browser font size =10 set graph font size =10 set window font size =10 set viewer font size =10 set editor font size =10 set language=English set viewer font name ="Verdana,Arial,Courier,System" * uncomment next two lines to display Chinese Characters *SET viewer font charset = "gb2312" *set viewer font name="Arial Unicode MS" ************************************************** * set options defined during installation: ************************************************** * To see other set: issue "set" command or look in help file (F1) ************************************************** set display variables=OFF set display databrowser=OFF set output open=ON * set options defined during installation: ************************************************** * Default folder defined as: cd C:\Program Files\Epidata\TestData set output folder="C:\Program Files\Epidata\TestData" set language=english set echo=ON Thank you all Edson Byamukama Kampala, Uganda On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 9:00 PM, <epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> wrote: > > Send EpiData-list mailing list submissions to > epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > epidata-list-request(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > You can reach the person managing the list at > epidata-list-owner(a)lists.umanitoba.ca > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of EpiData-list digest..." > > > EpiData-list mailing list > ___________________________________ > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

EpiData Analysis on Windows 7
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 06 Dec '11

Hello Colleagues, I keep getting an error message while executing the command in Epidata analysis. Searching through on Google, i got a thread of such request by another user on this link (http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2010q4/001618.html). His problem seem to be the same one i have, but the solution is not clear.... Can someone please help me! I badly need to write my code in the editor and run it latter... I tried to change the directory as suggested by Jens Lauritsen in the ini file but i dont see where to change. I need help, i believe that some of you are using windows 7 too. Help me if you have got the work around of this use. Edson Byamukama Kampala, Uganda
