Hi, I am also experiencing the "out of memory" problem when trying to define value labels. I am using Windows 7 (64), and Manager version 1.0.0.0. It is obviously not a question of memory: I am using a new computer with a lot of memory, and trying a new, very simple, data entry form. Any suggestion for solving the problem? Thanks!

A link problem in the web page
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Mar '12

Hello Jens: There's a link problem that might be solved in http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php. The link is related with the Flyspray bug system. When someone click on the web browser to "Flyspray" go to http://flyspray.org/. The correct link should be http://www.epidata.info/flyspray/.

Version 1.1 of Manager and EntryClient release
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Today we have released new versions of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient. As with the first public release of Manager and EntryClient, this release has been packed in an installer which should work for Mac, Windows and Linux. The changes made are in short: * An issue with saving project files where pathnames/filename contained non-ASCII characters. * Fixed a number of bugs related to importing data. * Fixed a number of bugs related to saving colour settings in EntryClient. The updated versions are available from the download page on http://www.epidata.dk The release is part of the new principle, where a given new version first is placed as a beta version on the testing page and then moved to a public release on the download page if no problems show up. Therefore the v1.1 placed on the download page today is the same as the beta version placed for about a week on the testing page. On the testing page you will then find two versions: a. the next version to be released in general (such as v1.1) b. The current development (alpha) version, which you can consider a temporary "how far is the development currently" - users testing obviously must recognise that changes will occur during development. In all cases do not use the versions on the testing page for production work - only to influence development and test whether future releases have solved the problems identified. Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen, Jens M. Lauritsen. EpiData Association.

Reading and writing in EPIDATA ANALYSIS V 2.2.2.178
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

22 feb 2012 Hello Jens and Kirsten, Working with this new Epidata Analysis (V 2.2.2.178) I found the following oddities: Reading files: .EPZ files went OK .EPX files were not accepted, the files were made by the latest MANAGER program from an imported normal RECfile. Writing files: An .EPZ file was subsequently saved with SAVEDATA into a .RECfile. This recfile was well accepted and loaded in EpidataAnalysis and also in ANALYSIS from EPI6, and also in ENTERX from EPI6, but the structure of the file was very strange: In each record a lot of space was added at the end of the record. This extra space did not hamper using the file. Also this was not accounted for in the filesize in the file system of my WINDOWS XP (SP 3). have a good day, Louk Meertens.

Merge & Relate issue
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Good morning to all the list, I'm experiencing a problem with my own epidata questionnaire setup, defined as follows: MENU.qst - Q1.qst ----Q1_1qst - Q2.qst MENU is just a initial menu that allows the user to select the questionnaire they want to enter or edit. Depending on entered number, the user is redirected using a IF…ELSE construct, like this: IF selection = 1 THEN RELATE code q1 1 ENDIF IF selection = 2 THEN RELATE code q2 1 ENDIF In MENU.qst, Q1.qst and Q2.qst there is a key, defined in each case as KEY UNIQUE 1, while Q1_1 is related to Q1 using the same key as Q1, but is defined as KEY 1. When I try to merge together Q1 and Q2 everything goes fine, but when I try to export the data in Excel format the process exits with an error about the newly generated checkfile. In particular, the problem lies in the fact that the key in the new checkfile is defined simply as KEY 1, and not as KEY UNIQUE 1. However, to relate Q1 to Q2 needs the key to be defined as UNIQUE. I don't see any reason why while merging the new checkfile defines the key as not unique, since the codes are still unique also in the merged file. There is any workaroud for this? Thank you, Dario Vianello

help with double data entry in EpiData
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

This is a question about double data entry in EpiData : We commonly use EpiData to do double data entry. We use Tools > Prepare Double Entry Verification and select the field ID for matching records. When we open the *_dbl file for data entry, a box usually opens stating 'double data entry verification mode / data compared with *.rec / compared by Field ID'. What does it mean when that box does not open ? Are we simply entering records into the _dbl file without comparing fields from the *.rec file ? Recently we have experienced the box opening *and* the box NOT opening when selecting the same _dbl file for data entry. How can we know for certain that all records in the _dbl file have been verified - even when the box does not open. Thanks in advance.

First alpha release of Manager and EntryClient
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Dear List. As we told in a previous mail, we are moving towards a new schedule for releasing our programs. This move has been completed today with the first release of our development branch for Manager and EntryClient. As stated, these releases are experimental versions of the programs and should not be used for "real" data in an everyday production. However we do encourage you to download the programs, test the new features and give us feedback on what you think is missing, not working etc. The alpha relases are placed for download in a seperate section on the testing <http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha> page of out website. There is a link for both EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient which list the added features, not already included in the stable/beta releases. Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen, Jens M. Lauritsen EpiData Association
