Jamie, Actually, On the Mac (OSX 10.9.4, 8 GB RAM, i7), the program does not lock completely: All menu items are greyed out except "Epidatamanager" with it's submenu items i.e. Quit, so I can seemingly exit normally. But after trying to select "define key" every other program action is blocked. I am not so familiar with OSX, so browsing the system logs are not particularly meaningful to me, but I can copy if necessary. Similar problem in Windows 7, therefore I suspected trivial user error: Program behaves normally until select "define key": Then everything locks up. here the menu items are not greyed out. But clicking on "file" does not open submenu, the "x" in upper right corner is not red and does not respond, the program window is locked in position etc. However: in task manager, the EpiData Manager is reported as "running"(!) When terminating program in Task Manager, the enclosed EDM dialog box appears. text says: "Cannot quit this program because it awaits response from you. Click Cancel to go back to windows and check status of program, or click exit to terminate the program immediately and lose all unsaved data". Hope this dialogue can be of use to Jens, also interesting to know if anybody else have had similar problems. vegard Jamie wrote: > So you have to do a Force Quit on your Mac?

Dear Jens, I have downloaded and testet EDM and EDC v 2.0.0.0 RC1 both extended and standard version, both Windows and OSX versions to test relational file structure I may have overlooked something obvious, but the program freezes when I try to define an integer or string field as key on the first dataform on a new project. I do not see te "relate" tab on the corresponding field property menu. The clinical example in the package opens and works as intended; on first opening the example file in Manager, the "relate" tab is visible, on reopening the file the tab seems to be gone. On data entry, the relate seems to work, though. Tested most thoroughly on WIndows 7 preofessional 64 bit SP1 (both 64 bit and 32 bit versions) on HP Intel i5 laptop, but seemingly same behaviour on Macbook Pro retina mid 2012 wirh OSX Maverick.

Dear all Versions 1.4.4.6 of Manager and 1.4.4.4 og EntryClient were placed for public download in early July. Updated introduction manuals were placed on the web (http://www.epidata.dk/download.php) in mid July. links: http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=epidatamanagerintro.pdf http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=epidataentryclientintro.pdf In early August development and adaptation of the Relational experimental version will continue. It seems very few comments have been made on this list. From the download numbers it seems that about 250 copies were downloaded since June 17th. Those having downloaded and tested please comment on the list before early August, where we will continue development. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

EpiData Manager v1.4.4.6 -String fields
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hello List, is it possible to change not only the width but also the height of the string field (manager)? Depending upon the number of characters the field is widely increased to the right but not downward (no line break). However for the data entry it would be better/easier if the field was to be increased downward. I need a field with 1000 characters! Is that too much? regards, Marita

Efforts in continued EpiData Development - who ?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

To all on the EpiData-list Allow me to use the opportunity of the coming summer vacations here in the Northern Hemisphere to mention/credit a few key influential contributors in collaborative efforts and/or major funding bodies, which continues to result in the EpiData resourses being freely available for all users. A more complete list is found at: http://epidata.dk/credit.htm (which needs updating from recent years) * The collaboration in teaching with H. Rieder has been excellent in achieving as well relevant function in the software, but also in creating the complete set of exercises found on http://www.tbrieder.org/epidata/epidata.html . Users should know that this collection has been the basis for very many courses and subsequent publications in the Tuberculosis area. * The collaboration with APHEO (Association of Public Health Epidemiologists in Ontario) and the Canadian Field Epidemiology training programme and guidance from J. Hockin resulting in: Field guides in epidemiology, including sample files and exercises : http://www.apheo.ca/index.php?pid=47 * SPC - functionality in collaboration with the Norwegian Medical Association and Quality assurance organisation in Healthcare (V. Högli and B.Nyen) http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=spc_epidata_software_v1.pdf and http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=spcbrugerhaandbogrsl.pdf (In Danish) * The collaboration with the Danish Data Archives on xml principles and adaptation of a simplified form of DDI standards. http://samfund.dda.dk/dda/beretning/beretning2012/epidata2012.asp (In Danish) * The funding from other sources - see http://epidata.dk/funding.htm * The continued efforts by MSC Torsten Christiansen in attentive and persistent implementation of our data documentation principles in the current modernised forms based on the epx file format. * In all "modesty" allow me to mention my own contributions, governance and continued efforts in securing stability, standards compliant and straight forward implementation and coordination of the software. Without the resources provided by these collaborative efforts there would have been no EpiData Software. Other persons have also spent time in assistance of development - users following this list will know these are. Relevant web adresses with course materials are found on this page: http://epidata.dk/links.htm If anyone knows of other relevant sites let us know on the list - or if some of them are no longer active. I foresee an important turning point when we soon will have full GCP compliance with logging followed by a complete rewriting of EpiData analysis. Users and organisations should be aware that the EpiData software can only survive with sustained funding and efforts from the implied persons. regards Jens Lauritsen Initiator and Coordinator of EpiData software. (We do not wish to end in the situation exemplified by the postcard from the son being on vacation "No money - not funny, Sonny" and the dad replies "How sad - too bad, dad")
