Hello Colleagues,
I keep getting an error message while executing the command in Epidata analysis. Searching through on Google, i got a thread of such request by another user on this link (http://lists.umanitoba.ca/pipermail/epidata-list/2010q4/001618.html). His problem seem to be the same one i have, but the solution is not clear.... Can someone please help me! I badly need to write my code in the editor and run it latter...
I tried to change the directory as suggested by Jens Lauritsen in the ini file but i dont see where to change.
I need help, i believe that some of you are using windows 7 too. Help me if you have got the work around of this use.

To change this: 1 Copy your current epidatastat.ini to e.g. epidatastat.old.ini then you have a copy to look into later.
2. take the epidataanalysis.ini file into an editor, e.g. the built in editor in analysis
3 modify contents to: * EpiData Analysis default settings file set echo=off set viewer font name ="Verdana,Arial,Courier,System"
* Viewer font and size: (plus editor and help windows) set browser font size =10 set graph font size =10 set window font size =10 set window font size =10 set editor font size =10 set language=English
Set echo=on
4 save again as epidatastat.ini
To get paths etc. in place again look at the copy in epidatastat.old.ini and experiment until it works for you.

Dear Edson:
You do not specify the error EpiData Analysis gives, so it could be anything. It often tells you pretty well what type of problem it encounters. Thus, the answer to your specific question on the path is easily answered, but it may or may not be the problem.
In the top line you see Edit as the second icon from the right. On clicking your get a drop down menu that lists among other things "Edit Setup (EpiDataStat.ini)". Open it with single-click and it opens in your text editor. If you write as the last execution stop a command:
cd X:\folder\sub:folder
Where "X" is the drive letter, and the rest is the location of your data files, this is where EpiData Analysis will go to when you open it next time (or execute now with F8 being on the line).
Best regards,
Hans

Hi all,
I also discovered that in Windows 7 strange things are happening:
I have in the ini file this:
* Default folder defined as: cd C:\Program Files\EpiData\TestData
However if I write logopen "output.txt" /close the program stores the text in the folder: C:\Users\Myname\Appdata\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Epidata\Testdata
which is a conflict.
Also if I put * Default folder defined as: cd D:\Data then I have the same result the program stores the text in the folder: C:\Users\Myname\Appdata\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Epidata\Testdata I will try to manage - maybe it's my local problem.
Best regards Vladimir

One aspects of the set command defines folders in analysis, try: set which will show all the options, and you will see among other defined set aspects: * for the output (log files) placement: here it is: Z:\HOME\JENS\EPIDATA
OUTPUT FOLDER Z:\HOME\JENS\EPIDATA
and stylesheets found here: STYLE SHEET "Z:\HOME\JENS\EPIDATA\EPIOUT.CSS"
this explains why you should look elsewhere for the folders of the logfiles. you may change that folder by issuing the command: set output folder = drive:\folder\something here where you replace "drive:\folder\something here" with the desired place, e.g. c:\temp\logfiles or c:\users\myname\documents\logfiles
To read more about the stylesheets look at: http://epidata.dk/php/downloadc.php?file=epidata_analysis_output_definition.... regards
