This is an increasing issue (some hospitals not using the most recent version)
Can you ask them to send me an email or phone number. Then I will call them and ask their reasons, since I would like to know how we can adopt an upgrade policy, which ensures having access to the latest version.
Write to info (at) epidata.dk and disregard the auto message, I will get the mail.
Best wishes Jens Lauritsen Epidata.dk

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
