Hello Torsten & Jens, Thanks for the beta version release in this month.I have some few submission for the new epi data entry software. 1. Currently it is difficult to have the variable name appear on the screen as compared to old version EpiData. where for instance want to design a screen like: Qid Questionnaire ID Q1 Gender of respondent.
With this current one, the variable name does not appear only the variable label. Is it possible to include check box in the basic menu to include the variable name, instead of the current form.
2. Is it possible to have a function to make a screen design in a roster format, so that if you are capturing data for household you can design the screen as you see it. eg. Name Age Sex. Household member 1 2 3 4 . . 10.
With this function, it will make capturing data in table format easy.
Hoping to read from you soon, as we test the beta version V1.1.1.
Regards, Sedzro

We have released a new test releases of EpiData Manager and EpiData EntryClient.
Since we released version 1.0 of Manager and EntryClient a number of issues have been raised by users. We have addressed most of these issues and we encourage you to download, test and give your feedback to the list on whether you find the issues resolved or not.
In addition to these bug fixes, we are planning for a new release schedule of our programs. This is because we wish to reflect our development cycle in how we release the programs.
What does this mean? For most parts: not much. But it gives us a possiblity to release updates faster and respond quicker to new reported issues. It also gives those of you who wishes to see the latest and greatest features being developed right now, a chance to test and try the programs in an early alpha stage.
The release of software is devided into three stages (show here in reverse development order):
- Stable: This is the version we have tested, tried and generally
consider to be stable for for production/read projects. If a bug is reported finding the cause and fixing it has highest priority in the development. This will be available for general download on http://www.epidata.dk/* *download.php http://www.epidata.dk/download.php
- Beta: This version is based on the stable version, but with reported
bugs from the stable version fixed. Usually no new features are included. This will be available for general download on http://www.epidata.dk/testing.**php http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php
- Development/Alpha: This version is a direct copy of what is being
developed at the moment. There is NO guarantee this version will be backward compatible and could break other dependancies. However, this gives you as a user the oppertunity to try out the latest and greates features we are developing at the moment. Although this is in general considered an unstable release, we do still aim for it to be working at all times (and hopefully backward compatible.)
Todays release is a Beta release and hence is placed in the testing page < http://epidata.dk/testing.php**%3E of our website. If no major bugs are reported we will release the this beta version as a stable release in a short period of time.
Changes from version 1.0 (Stable) to 1.1.1 (Beta):
Manager and EntryClient:
- Fixed bug where non-US path/filenames causes save/load errors on Windows
OS.
- Fixed bug where config file failed to save on non-US Windows OS.
- Fixed bug where version information in XML file was incorrect (was 0
should be 1).
- Fixed bug where using jumps with boolean field would cause error on load
of file.
- Fixed bug where saving data on rare occations could create invalid XML
syntax in .epx file.
Manager:
- Fixed two bugs where program could cause access violation when closing a
project.
- Fixed bug where importing data files could cause crash.
- Fixed bug in importing .rec/chk files, where value part of a valuelabel
was surrounded by quotes (")
- Added import of floating-point valuelabels from .rec/chk files.
EntryClient:
- Auto calculated fields did not mark a record as modified
- Fixed bug in search where clicking "Find" did not find any records.
- Fixed bug where colours chosen in settings were not saved.
- Fixed bug where "recent files" were not case sensitive on Linux and Mac
OS X.
- Changed default colours for active field.
- Changed search List/Find to not include initial value of
Repeat/DefaultValue field. (Result is that clicking Ctrl+L on a new record gives a complete list of the dataset)
Kind regards, Torsten Bonde Christiansen. Jens Lauritsen.

I think it's great that there are two seperate programs now, but I miss some of the functionalities of EpiData Entry (lookup in one .rec file while working in another and coding an integer as key unique through the GUI).
I hope anybody knows!?
