EpiData Manager closing down on Windows 8.1
by EpiData development and support 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Dear users, I have installed EpiData Manager on a machine working on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I used the latest versions available: 2.0.4.43 r1156 1. At first I used the 64 bit version but could not open or save projects: this led to the program shutting down. In the archives I saw other users experienced similar problems. 2. I then uninstalled the above and installed the 32 bit version (Platform i386-Win32). This version seemed to be working well, until I tried to set value labels: when I do this, either by using the "Field properties" box or by trying to access through "Project Details" >> "Value labels", the program shuts down. I am just able to see that some error notice appears but the program shuts down so fast I cannot read it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Michaelנשלח ממכשיר הסמסונג שלי

I have sent an example of the bug, including logfile, .epx, .dta, to info at epidata.dk. I have received the following automatic answer: This e-mail is unfortunately heavily burdened by spam. If you have a general comment or question on the use of EpiData Software, please search the EpiData list. To join the list or see contents follow the link on the main EpiData site frontpage. Join the list to ask the question again. According to Stata the variable format is %5.0f.

The version mentioned refers to the structure of the XML file, not the version of the software. So someone in your organisation have opened and saved the file with the newest version. Which you should also use, since we have fixed many bugs. Manager: v2.0.2.28 EntryClient: v2.0.2.13 It will always be such that a later version of the software can open ANY earlier public release version. BUT also such that you should NEVER use the testing version of Manager or EntryClient found on epidata.dk/testing.php on real project data. Since during the testing we might have changes to the xml structure of the project which are later abandoned. Is there a reason why you would like to use v1.4.4.4 and not 2.0.2.13 for your project ?

Error opening the project in EpiData Entry Client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Dear List, A project was developped in the field. Since recently, without any apparent reason we can't open anymore the .epx with the database and continue the data entry. The error message indicates: "project has incorrect XML. Max supported XML Version 2: Project XML version 3”. The version we have is v1.4.4.4. Although a different version was used in the past, I was always able to open it with the v1.4.4.4 which is not the case anymore. Could you please specify what the error message means? or way forward to be able to open the project again? Many thanks in advance Sophie Masson
