Difficulty in Importing Relational database of Classical epidata into Epidata Manager
Dear Jens, I am trying to import Classical Epidata Relational File System of 8 tables into Epidata EntryClient.The structure is as follows; Family Eligible Couple Pregnant Contra Under five Agesex Growth Monitoring Tuberculosis We can import Family, Eligible couple AgeSex and tuberculosis structure data files easily and link also .However the files linked to eligible couple ; Pregnant , Contra , Under five and Growth monitoring , only the structure of the file is imported, NOT DATA. When we click the data check button in the Import Dialogue Box, it shows the following error .“Importing data is only impossible when the imported dataset has same variable (names +type) as the defined variables!”That is already the case. The primary key between family and other directly linked files is “FFNO” , a text variable . The primary key between Ecouple and linked files is “FAMIDNUM” a numeric variable. The primary key between Underfive and Growth monitoring files is “Card2” , a numeric variable . The number of records are in thousands.I am using the latest version of Epidata Manager and EntryClient.Why we are not able to import the data of Pregnant , contra , Under five and Growth monitoring files. Please guideDr. Shavinder Singh
Importing such a system is not an easy task.
I suggest that you send to our "support" mail info (at) epidata.dk the following:
A drawing of the structure.
Please also send any further documentation to that mail and we will look at it.
Please also use text formatted mails for EpiData lists, since otherwise it looks unreadable.

We can import Family, Eligible couple AgeSex and tuberculosis structure data files easily and link also .
However the files linked to eligible couple ; Pregnant , Contra , Under five and Growth monitoring only the structure of the file is imported, NOT DATA.
When we click the data check button in the Import Dialogue Box, it shows the following error . Importing data is only impossible when the imported dataset has same variable (names +type) as the defined variables!
That is already the case.
The primary key between family and other directly linked files is FFNO a text variable .
The primary key between Ecouple and linked files is FAMIDNUM a numeric variable.
The primary key between Underfive and Growth monitoring files Card2 a numeric variable .
The number of records are in thousands. I am using the latest version of Epidata Manager and EntryClient. Why we are not able to import the data of Pregnant , contra , Under five and Growth monitoring files. Please guide
