Hi,

I would like to know how to avoid entering a variable value which is out of its range.

For example, the value set for “sex” is: “1” for male and “2” for female. In the data entry form, if I type “9” for sex then Enter, the OUT OF RANGE message appears and the filed appears yellow instead of green. Unfortunately I can move to the next field (question) by using the mouse and the “9” becomes green.

Is there any way to ban entering a variable value out of its value set?

Thank you
Rebecca

You can use system controlled mode. You enable this in the data entry options (options menu). Note that switching to system controlled mode has other implications. Read the section on system vs operator control in the online help.

Thank you Josh for all your answers.
