There is a chance that your data file from v4.4 has nothing in it that won’t be recognized by v4.2.
You might try this:
make a copy of your .epx file using a TEXT EDITOR, edit the copy and change the version number in the first line from 6 to 5 save the file try opening the copy with your hospital’s EpiData Manager save the file with a new name (File, Save As)

Hi, I am new to Epidata. I have spent many hours in writing forms for my study in the Epidata version 4.4 downloaded recently. When now testing it on my hospital where I will use it for registering data it tursn out that the hospital is running an earlier version 4.2 in which I cannot open the file from 4.4. My hospital will wait til this summer to install a new version. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this without having to construct it all over again? Thanks, Ulf Ljungblad, Norway
