Which version of the apps are you using? It sounds like a problem with file permissions, which can arise on shared computers, but I’m assuming your students have their own Macs.
The default data folder (set via the Preferences menu) must be a folder with full access (within their home folder - e.g. /Users/name/data).
I’ve been working to get all aspects of EpiData working on the new Mac OS, including Big Sur, but I have not run into this problem.

Good day,
In our University we run a course on-line and students learn how to use EpiData as well as Stata during the course.
We encountered a problem with the students who use Apple Mac computers and who are using Catalina OS. It appears that EpiData does not run properly in Catalina environment. They can download and install a beta version but that does not allow saving, for example, or export to Stata; so they are unable to submit assignments requiring the preparation of questionnaires, data entry or export to Stata.
It affects about 20 of our 600 students.
Does anyone have any solution to suggest? _______________________________________________ EpiData-list mailing list EpiData-list@lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list
