The command "merge" can do this for you. If you write merge and then press f1 in analysis you will see the help file.

Hello. I'm using EpiData 3.1 on windows 7 to enter data into a set of RELATEd .rec files:

HNPforms.rec (these are visits to households; data about the building) Adults.rec (data about the adults living in the household) Children.rec (data about the children living in the households)

Each visit to a household has a unique ID number, and that number is propagated to a field in each adult's and child's record. There can be multiple visits to each household, so an indicator of initial visit versus revisit is included in HNPforms.rec and is propagated to the records for the adults and children living in that household.

Using EpiData Analysis, is there a way to "connect" the child records and the adult records to their own household records, for purposes of analysis? Merging on the unique ID number, so to speak.

Thanks.
