I previously used v1.4.2 (x86_64_Win64, Windows 8) - that's the one which doesn't work. But I just figured out that it actually works with the beta version that I just installed: EpiData Entry Client Program Version: 1.4.3.3 r342 Core version: 1.4.3.0 r892 FPC Version: 2.6.2 Platform: x86_64-Win64 Filename: C:\XXX\Politiker.epx XML Version: 2 Field count: 34 Record count: 0 Principally this solves my problem. But I'm kind of unsure if it's reasonable to use a beta for our study, isn't it?

Multiple instances in Entry Client
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hey there, I'm currently experiencing an issue that prevents me from running multiple instances of the Entry Client. Our study makes use of two different analytical units whose forms should be filled out simultaneously. For this we need to open different files on the same computer at the same time. If the option "Allow multiple program instances" does what I think it does - it doesn't work for me. Is there a solution for this problem? Thanks for your help, Nico

17 Jan '14

epidata-list(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Dear all Following about two months focus on a project in collaboration with the Danish Data Archives we have today released new test versions expected to be used for general production in about a week unless problems show up. Changes in Both: * Check for loading future XML versions * Improved speed on "Browse Data" for large datasets. * Shows progress of loading/importing files (EPX, REC and STATA files) Manager: (1.4.3.4) * Improved DDI export * New Tool: Data validation (report) * Fixed long standing bug where deleting fields being part of jump/calculation/compare would cause a crash on save. * Improved field list report * New recode data form. * New rename items form. * New report for export. EntryClient: (1.4.3.3) * Fixed but where using "marked for deletion" did not mark project as modified. * New paths: backup (for backed up projects) * New: Date/time fields now automatically insert current date/time if pressing "+" key. Please test and verify function ,such that we can this version out quickly. regards Jens Lauritsen and Torsten Christiansen EpiData Association

problem in digits
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Dear EpiData-list: When I build a "qus" file as following: cnid chinaidno ################## But I have the trouble when I enter the data, it always appears wrong number at the last two digits. For example: I want to enter the data as 221133445566778899. But the last two digit”99” will change to some other digits such as 34 or other,randomly. How can I solve the problem? Your sincerely MingQiu CHEN

Mac question
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Dear EpiData-list, I am having trouble running EpiData on my Mac. I have downloaded the version of EpiData for Macs, and used the directions in "readme.txt". I double click on runManager.command and then on startManager.app. The double click on startManager.app is always followed by an error message. I've tried several times, as has a student on her own Mac. We always receive the error message and cannot run the program. Is there a fix or workaround for this? Apologies if this has been asked before, we were not able to find a solution that worked on the archive. Thank you so much for your help. Best regards, Sara Smith UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health

Prepare double entry in EpiData Manager v1.4.3.3
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

I have been attempting to use the above feature on a 64 bit Windows 7 professional machine but using the standard 32 bit version of the software (as most users in the organisation still have 32 bit machines), together with EpiData Entry Client v1.4.3.2. My understanding is that the process should work in the same way with this software as with EpiData Entry v3.1. Namely, in Manager create the duplicate project file using the "Prepare Double Entry" and then in EpiData Entry Client to open that duplicate project file and enter data, at which point any discrepancy between what is entered the second time compared to that entered first time should result in a message window listing possible actions the data enterer can undertake. First, I note that in Epidata Manager, no menu appears to select the ID field on which to compare the two files, so that data therefore needs to be entered in the same order in the duplicate file as was done in the original file (which seems to me to be a limitation). Second, upon opening the duplicate file in EpiData Entry Client, there is no message confirming that comparison is being made between the original and the duplicate and indeed, regardless of what data is entered in the duplicate file, no message window appears when there is a discrepancy between that entered in the original and that entered in the duplicate file. I feel like I must be missing something. Could somebody please enlighten.
