Dear list, I have two questions regarding Jumps in EpiData Entry. 1) I want to jump to variable v10 if de score for v8 is 1 to 7. Of course this works: v8 RANGE 1 9 COMMENT LEGAL USE oplcat JUMPS 1 v10 2 v10 3 v10 4 v10 5 v10 6 v10 7 v10 END MUSTENTER END Is a shorter syntax possible and if so, how? 2) Is it possible to make a jump defination that depends on the value entered in a previous question? For example: After entering the value for variable v5 I want to jump to v8 if the answer on question v3=1. Kind Regards, Pieter van Groenestijn The Netherlands

fill fields from COMMENT LEGAL file

I'm studying the copydata example to learn how to extract several variables from a file identified in a COMMENT LEGAL statement. In A3.chk, the statement "TYPE COMMENT atransfer" appears. What is atransfer? I don't see where it has been defined as a variable and I don't find it as a system variable. Further, the program seems to be parsing the string in atransfer according to the position of punctuation. Where is the format of this string defined? Perhaps to be a bit more explicit: I have file with a list of CHWs: District, Village, CHW name and a survey conducted by the CHWs. As the data is entered for the survey, I'd like to present pick lists to facilitate entry. The data is quite strictly hierarchical: Villages occur within Districts, an CHWs live in villages. Thank you,

This is normal macOS behavior when first trying to run software that does not come from the app store. You must right click (or ctrl-click) on the app icon and choose open. You may have to do this twice for each app. Jamie

When trying to install new version on MacOC Catalina (10.15.7) fails too. "EpiDataAnalysis App cannot be installed because the Developer cannot be confirmed. MacOS cannot ensure that the program does not contain Malware" This happens both to Manager and Analysis installers (haven´t checked Entry Client) Same result regardless program security unlocked in settings.

Hi, Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I receive the same error message in the Event viewer when I download the zip-file, unzip it to a folder and then click the exe file. Best wishes, Johanna Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Problems installing Epidata 4.6.0.6 on Windows 10 Home

Hi, I’m having trouble installing and opening EpiData Manager and EntryClient 4.6.0.6 on a brand new Windows 10 Home laptop. After completing the ‘All in one installer’ process, double clicking the shortcut icons does not open any application. On checking the Windows Application Logs, I see the following error message for both Manager and Client: Faulting application name: epidatamanager.exe, version: 4.6.0.6, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: libeay32.dll, version: 1.0.2.5, time stamp: 0x56618848 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000000ca23 Faulting process ID: 0x2584 Faulting application start time: 0x01d7686c70eb6c7f Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\EpiData\epidatamanager.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\EpiData\libeay32.dll Report ID: 5ea1974a-9f7a-435c-90ac-006cc7a19264 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I have switched off all anti-virus software but this also didn’t fix the problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thanks so much in advance!
