RE : EpiData-list Digest, Vol 97, Issue 7
Hi, A response to Réjean, I did not experience your "out of memory" problem, but I had the "Unable to open the file. An unknown error occured" one several times (because of ranges in DMY date fields, see my message on the list). In this case, you can edit the epx file in wordpad or notpad, and delete the wrong lines, supposing you can identify then (possibly lines concerning value labels in your case). Another solution is to backup files often, so that you don't have to start all over again each time. Sorry, this won't give you the solution of your problem, but maybe will help you keep your patience while testing the Manager! Confraternellement, Pascal Thibon, MD, Epidemiologist CHU Caen France

Just a small note. I strongly recommend not to edit the .epx file in Notepad or Wordpad but use some other program.
This is because the builtin editors of Windows (especially Notepad) does not handle the special lineending markers very well and the UTF-8 encoding could also pose a problem. Editing with these program could cause futher problems.
Instead I would recommend using other free opensource editors. A small list of free and proprietary editor can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_editors. Also a simple but effective editor is notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
