9.3 Exporting files from Epi6 to Epi Info 2000 and SPSS I) Export files from Epi6 to Epi info 2000 • There are two ways of exporting Rec files from Epi6 to Epi info 2000 (we will show
here only one of them). This is usually done to analyze data using advanced statistical
techniques, such as, logistic regression.
• Move the cursor to Epi info 2000 and click on it.
• Move the cursor to Adv. Stats and click on logistic regression. • Move the cursor to File and click on open • Make sure that the current driveis "C" (if this is the drive where your Epi6 rec file is
found. Otherwise, you need to specify the correct drive.
• List files of type: move the cursor to Data file (*.rec) and press Enter
