Hello Chris,
This should be rather simple: 1) Just rename your old .qes and .chk files. 2) Then modify what you want in them. 3) And then create a new (empty) .rec file.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Yves

I will be conducting a survey study very similar to one I've done before. I want to use the same datafile structure: the questions, datatypes, and checks will be nearly identical. Is there an easy way to produce a new set of .rec, .qes, and .chk files, replicas of the old ones, but with no records? Then I can make some small modifications before entering the new data. I'd hate to half to do it all again from scratch.
Thanks.
