You are partially correct. OnStop will only get called if some data, not just an ID item, has been entered for the case. If any item is entered, OnStop will be executed. If no items are entered, OnStop will not get called. I don't know why this was the programmed behavior, but my guess it that gener...

This is an intriguing idea that I have not thought of before. What are some kinds of scripts that you would put in a preproc/postproc?

If implemented, perhaps these scripts could be implemented similar to the OnKey and OnStop functions, which are default functions that can be overridden.

Agreed, and this may be something that eventually comes out, though probably not for some time. The next big project after the Unicode conversion will be porting CSPro so that it works on mobile devices, including Android tablets/phones. That will at least put some of the code base in Java, which wi...

You must invoke CSEntry with the parameter /binaryWin32. You can also use the optional parameter /binaryName. For example: "C:\Program Files\CSPro 4.1\CSEntry.exe" "Census 2000 Data Entry.ent" /binaryWin32 "C:\Program Files\CSPro 4.1\CSEntry.exe" "Census 2000 Data ...

Mutua, You can see an example here: http://www.csprousers.org/2011/12/09/adding-multiple-logic-files-to-an-application This could be useful for people who create libraries of functions. The same library of functions could be used in many applications. Think of this as similar to include in C/C++ or ...

David, Those are the next steps for CSPro. Currently the Census Bureau staff are implementing Unicode support and in a month or two will be looking for beta testers for this version, CSPro 5. If you are interested in testing this version, let me know. The release version probably won't come out unti...

Now with CSPro 4.1.002 out, you can use the getusername function instead of using the code above.

I hope that a RDBMS interface will come out in the next 6-9 months, but it's hard to know what the future holds. Would you want the interface accessible for all aspects of CSPro (data entry, editing, tabulation, and the tools), or would the RDBMS being accessible in Entry and Export be sufficient fo...

The development team has not programmed anything like this yet. The future goals of CSPro include web-based data entry, so this is something that is on the radar. I would guess that both RDBMS support and an Android version will be released before HTML-based data entry, but having a RDBMS interface ...

Thanks for the note. The link actually pointed to the correct file, but the name of the link was misleading. I have fixed this problem.
