Try setting:
set echo=on
maybe your file was read, but the message was not showing. If the file was read you can also see the number of records at the bottom status line

It might be corrupted in someway. Did you manipulate it with any other program besides EpiData programs? Try to open it with EpiData Entry.

I think that Marco is right : the file might be corrupted. If Epidata Entry cannot open it, try to open and fix the file with Epi6 (EpiInfo for DOS system: you can download it from CDC website). I had the same problem and I could fix the file using this way.

Are there any records in your rec file that are marked for deletion? I had EpiData Analysis stall on me when it tried to read a rec file with a deleted record. I used the 'pack file' function in EpiData to get rid of the records that were marked for deletion. After that it worked fine.
I suppose you could also undelete these marked records, but then they will show up in your analysis.

Which command should I use so that when the "child" record opens, it automatically opens a new blank record (child).

Have you tried to start everything again from scratch, ie, doing a reinstall of EpiData Analysis? I know, last-resort proposal, but it doesn't seem that anything else anybody proposes is fixing it, thus let's hope it is just some corrupt file.

It is worth having a look at the file in an editor. If you are not going to save it again, even Word will do, but change the font to Courier. You should see the header information all lined up and then the data all lined up with maximum 80 characters per line. It is pretty easy to see if the file is corrupted (e.g. it got only partially copied from somewhere or was edited with something like Word.
I do this all the time if I have a problem with a data file and the problem has always been one of the following:
1. The data came from EpiInfo - EpiInfo forgives a lot of errors in data sets and won't tell you about them 2. There is garbage part of the way through the file - indicates a disk error or that the computer was shut off before the file was completely saved 3. There is an extra blank line at the end or the very last line is not complete or has extra spaces at the end
Of course, if any of those are true, Epidata Entry won't read the file either.
The other potential problem is a corrupt .chk file, although there is a pretty clear error message about that in my experience.
Good luck...
(by the way, a few of us are quite able to diagnose a .rec file problem, but that means sending your data to a stranger)
