Epidata 3.1 and Windows 10

Hello, My organization has been testing Epidata 3.1 for compatibility with Windows 10 before we upgrade our network OS, I encountered the following issue: if a change is made to an existing QES file, the process of revising the existing REC file stalls and can take 7-10 minutes to complete. This is very unusual since the process is virtually instantaneous in Windows 7 or previous OS versions. The IT staff haven't found a solution. I'm hoping someone here might have a suggestion (configuration, network setting?). Thanks Rod Rod Asplin, C.P.H.I.

Problem with AUTOSEARCH
by EpiData development and support 20 Aug '17

Dear friends, When I enter a duplicate data in a field configured with autosearch, the dialog box displays three option buttons: YES, NO and CANCEL. When pressing the NO button, nothing happens but the other options work normally. The other dialog boxes similar to this one are working normally. Does anyone know if this is a bug in EpiData (Classic) Entry v3.1? How can I resolve this? I need to set up a variable like AUTOSEARCH varID varPERSON. Where varID is the identification variable and varPERSON is the number given to each person in the household. Grateful for attention! Márcia

Reg Epidata Manager 4.0.2.101

This is a very basic question. 1) I am not able to automatically calculate the number of hours from the calculate option. I have input date and time and entered it into the calculate option but it is not giving me the correct answer. e.g. I have input date of injury and time of injury; and date of presentation and time of presentation. I need to calculate the number of hours of delay in presentation. I am not able to do that. 2) Is it possible to change the time option and exclude the seconds? Thank you, With regards, Madhurita
