Dear Sir, I am currently using EpiData manager for my data entry. I am facing few difficulties for which i am seeking solution from your expert team. My difficult is as follows. 1. Few questions in my questionnaire are relevant only for Married. My 3rd question captures about marital status. My 7th questions intends to find information relevant to married only. So, if a person is unmarried (when i enter in Q3 as unmarried) this Q7 should automatically get skipped because he is not married. But i am unable to do it in Epidata manager, because Epidata manager allows me to jump from Q3 to Q5 by skipping Q4, but not serving my purpose. Can suggestions on this ? 2. I have 4 boxes, 1st is year, 2nd is months, 3rd is week and 4th is days. I would like to create a 5th box which should automatically calculate [(1st box value *365) + (2nd box value *30) + (3rd box value *7) + (4th box value)]. How do i do this in epidata manager. Please help me out how best i can do this. Thanks & Regards, -- *Thiru*

Manager and EntryClient - Identified bugs in latest release ?

Regarding the latest public release: _Manager_ *v2.0.0.25* _EntryClient_ *v2.0.0.10* During classes today (35 participants) for 5 hours I noticed very few problems aside from the following: 1 Users should be very much aware that they are NOT starting the software from within zip archives. Windows hides the actual folder type - unless you are aware of this. 2 EpiData Analysis: Some users had NOT installed the latest EpiData Analysis and could therefore not read the epx files created. Remedy: Check that you have V2.2 Rel. 2 (Build 183 ) (see caption). 3 In Manager: Ctrl+Z will NOT restore a deletion of a field - only moving the field to another position. 4 In Windows-8: Strange behaviour for three users having installed the software twice. They were not sure if they had taken the 64 or 32 bit versions. One pc in particular gave problems: After removing the installed versions and installing the 32 bit version, function was restored without problems. 4 A few bugs: a. If you select more than 2 project files for "double entry validation" - and then unselect files. Then the test of comparing the two files is NOT done. Remedy: Deselect all files and just mark two of them for comparison. Then it works. b. On Machintosh: Sometimes an entry field could be outside the "visible dataform" in EntryClient - and users could then not access that field c. On one particular pc with Windows 8 the EntryClient confused period and comma during entry in a float field, rejecting saving of a given record. Upon "save of record" the program crashed. Problem was solved after removal of software and fresh install from EpiData website . Please report problems and function as done previously. In particular on issues above. Following end of the classes (mid March) I will attempt to release all exercises for download from the website. regards Jens Lauritsen Initiator and Coordinator EpiData Association Denmark.
