TabNotes
Version 1.0 (Enzmann, 2006)

TabNotes is a utility to convert .not-files created by the EpiData Entry program
(see: http://www.epidata.dk/index.htm ) into a tab-delimited file.

TabNotes is fairly self-explanatory:

• Start the program and choose an EpiData .not-file for conversion (all files  whose extension start with .not will be shown automatically),
• specify the name of the output-file (automatically the original file name will be used and the extension .txt will be added),
• start the conversion.

As a result you will see a summary of the contents of the .not-file (see:
TabNotes-Demo1.jpg )and the notes will be saved into a tab-delimited file.

Finally, you may want to import this file in Excel: Once read by Excel the
following columns will be created:

1. Path and name of EpiData record file
2. Date and time of note
3. CaseNumber (if defined) of note
4. Field to which the note refers
5. Note

(see: TabNotes-Demo2.jpg ).
