Find does work on multiline fields. Are you searching for a specific word in the multiline field? If so, make sure to use the * symbol. For example, if you want to find if the word "deceased" appears anywhere in the field, you would type "*deceased*…
Greetings,
There are a few ways to do this. The first method is to open the HTM file in Microsoft Word and save it as a DOC file. (Word can open HTM files natively.) One problem with this method is that Word doesn't always like to open/save HTML in…
I would most likely have to see the two databases (the original versions, not the merged versions) to determine why this was the case. If you still have the unmerged originals you can upload them here, although we ask that all identifying informatio…
For a choropleth map, there is no way to remove the first category. It will always show up in the legend.
You could use a Unique Values map (which would look somewhat similar to a choropleth map) instead. If your numeric coding only includes a hand…
I haven't been able to replicate the problem using a smaller dataset. Do you still find that this problem occurs when using Views from the Sample.mdb file (located in C:\Epi_Info)? Also, are you using 'Fullscreen' mode in Enter?

Greetings,
The only need for the MS-DOS emulator on the 64-bit versions of Windows is for the StatCalc utility. The rest of Epi Info does not need DosBox in order to function on the 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't plan on using StatCalc (or…
Greetings,
Epi Info can certainly handle the skip patterns that have been described. As you're probably aware already, Check Code is used to validate data entry and to make the process of entering data faster. It works by running commands when cert…
Greetings,
As I research the issue, can you tell me how many fields you have in this View? Do you ever receive error messages when navigating fields?
Have you tried downloading this patch from Microsoft? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B769A4B8-48ED-41A1-8095-5A086D1937CB&displaylang=en
If this does not work, then I am unsure if we'll be able to come a conclusion as to w…
Greetings,
When you open the file in Analysis that is supposed to have 624 records, but only shows 455: Click on the SET command (the last command in the command tree) and select 'Both' for processing deleted records. Re-read the dataset and see if…
Unfortunately there is no way to create a pattern for a text field, although the FORMAT function may be semi-useful for other types of formatting. Also note that you can set the max size of a text field, so if you have a TEXT field called SiteNumber…
Greetings,
In general, yes. We have many Epi Info users running Windows 7 and there have only been a few reports of issues. Most of these relate to the 64-bit version of Windows 7 being unable to run the StatCalc module. This can be resolved by usi…
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to merge regions. (Dividing a region into two is somewhat straightforward, though.) The way you'll have to do it is to go into Epi Map's shapefile editor, which is accessible by going to Shape (Boundary) > Create/…
Greetings,
What exactly is the error message you are receiving? If there is no error, then can you describe the problem is detail?
Also, does the advice posted at http://www.phconnect.org/group/epiinfo/forum/topics/epi6-and-windows-vista7 help any?
Greetings,
What operating system are you using? Given the fullscreen issue, I assume it is either Windows Vista or Windows 7?
Also, can you try the following and let us know if it helps?

Greetings,
The 64-bit version of Windows 7 can not run 16-bit MS-DOS applications.
Have you tried using the Windows version of Epi Info? There are several good resources to help get DOS users trained on the Windows version: The comprehensive EIHA…
