Yesterday a new version of the command line template parser tool was compiled based on the most recent html structure for the epx files. Users can read more about this tool on: http://www.epidata.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/documentation:templateformat (the documentation will be finalised, but in general is correct) And get the updated version from: http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

Dear members in the group, I will be teaching an course of bioestatistics to a group of psychiatry residents. The idea is to teach statistic methodology but using scientific papers related to psychiatry. I would appreciate if any of you have some papers with the databases that could provide me. Best wishes Jose Farfan Mexico

new test release of Manager and Entry Client

Dear List. Today we have release updated versions of the EpiData Manager and EntryClient programs. The release today is a minor test release with focus on Manager enhancements and user customization. Common fixed/changes: * Is is now possible to change font type, size and colour in both programs. This is done independently of the project. * A long standing problem where a projectfile contained exactly 13 fields would make the programs crash during load is finally fixed. * Other minor bugs related to importing/exporting to stata have been fixed. Manager: * The "import/add structure" window now gives the user the option of keeping/renaming field and valuelabels if types and names match (produces smaller/smarter project files if there are overlapping fields/valuelabels). * In the program settings is it possible to define a default setup for a new project. * Using the "tools" no longer requires the project file to be open. * Using "importing structure" could under some circumstances produce fields without fieldnames. * Several bugfixes related to deleting field(s) involved in calculations, jumps, etc. Entry: * Font changes as described above. * Some minor bug-fixes. During the most recent weeks experimentation has been made with the creation of pdf formatted reports on structure, labels etc. Unfortunately we had to stop the pdf development due to various reasons and time constraints. Instead an html based solution will be created. This will be part of next test release. Kind regards, Jens Lauritsen and Torsten Bonde Christiansen EpiData Association.
