Have you looked at the count function? If your data is on a roster, you may be able to use that function to count the number of times that something occurs. If you want to find a particular occurrence, you can use the seek function.

It is hard to know without seeing your application. If you want, send it to csprousers@gmail.com along with a description of the steps to take to cause the crash. Also, are you using the most recent version of CSPro?

You will do this by adding the household dictionary as an external dictionary to your food diary data entry program. Then you can use the loadcase function to look up a particular case and access the data from this case. Take a look at this program to get an idea of how to use lookup files: http://w...

For example, they might have set a field to protected but then didn't assign a value to it before the fi...
