Nicole,
How do you exchange the .rec-files? Via a Unix operating system to Windows, e.g. via the internet? It may happen that this modifies the <cr><lf> (carriage return/line feeds) at the end of the lines.
One solution would be to send/receive files packed in .zip files, that way the <cr><lf> characters should be kept as they are. Another possibility is using a good text editor (like Ultra Edit) that allows to modify the CR/LFs from Unix text file to Windows text files or vice versa (i.e. to repair them).
Please let me know whether this was helpful! Dirk

Nicole, one thing you can do is to transfer in your own PC all your colleague's Epidata files (.rec, .chk, .qes). Then you can verify the integrity of his/her Epidata rec file by simulating a data entry in his/her database. If it is OK, you can perform the validation of your duplicate files. Hope it will work.
