See the example titled "Relate example - Clinical Study with four forms" on the Examples page - click on the link on the main page at epidata.dk This is how to structure the related files. See the example titled "Relate example - Household, Person, Visit" to see how to copy information from one entry screen to another--you do this with GLOBAL variables.

This is a very common set up for clinical records.

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to copy and paste an entry? I am entering data for patients at a hospital by day, and each time I enter a new day's entry I have to re-type the patients' information. Is there a way to copy a previous entry for a patient and paste it on the new entry? Please help me as this adds a large amount of time to my work.

Thank you, YC _______________________________________________ EpiData-list mailing list EpiData-list@lists.umanitoba.ca http://lists.umanitoba.ca/mailman/listinfo/epidata-list
