Hello Aysha,
If the problem is with the deleted record, perhaps you could export that dataset to Epidata so that you get a new .rec file without the deleted record in it, and then try the validation using that file instead?

Hello
I have entered my data twice on epi data and would now like to validate files to make sure that my data is accurate. I have different ID numbers so can not run on Id keys but I have entered the data in the same order so the record numbers match. I have 1 deleted record in one database which I have adjusted for but checking the box that says ignore deleted records. I have 126 records in total when I go to validate files it comes up with an error box saying that it cannot create log file.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be fixed.
Thanx aysha _______________________________________________
