Dear Jamie.
Could I get you to submit a bug report to our bugtracker here:
http://www.epidata.info/flyspray/
Including the files you used when you discovered this error.
If your data is not suitable for publi display, you may also send them to me directly (my email is available on the EpiData website) or perhaps you can construct some data that replicates this error.
Kind regrads, Torsten Bonde Christiansen.
Thanks Torsten,
I have tried:
simple file: 1 numeric field, 4 records, one record has missing value complex file: 23 fields, 700+ records, lots of missing in numeric, text and dates
Import should allow errors, up to some limit set by the user. In some cases, this is correct behaviour because the source data has errors that Epidata will identify, but still want most data to go in correctly.
Jamie
