Do you have text fields in the data - especially fields that may contain special characters?
You can import a lot of data from excel - for example, I just loaded a test data set with 4401 records:
Loading data from clipboard, please wait... First line: (clipboard) id n m q r w t u c d e f g h i j k l m Separator: Tab (tab: 79236)(semicolon: 0)(comma: 0)(space: 0) Lines: 4402 (incl. field names) File name :from clipboard Fields: 19 Total records: 4401 Included: 4401
I you can import 50 lines, then I suspect there is a problem with one of the records that follows.
if you want me to try to diagnose the problem, you can send your .rec and .chk files to me

I'll have a look and then delete everything, including the e-mail.

I also exported the file, 1065 records, into excel and when I tried to copy and import it into epidata analysis immediately, the software shut down immediately. It only works with 50 records.
Thanks
