[EpiData-list] Regarding automatically filling of fields by a helping database

[epidata-list at lists.umanitoba.ca]

You are on the right track, but there are errors in what you have 
submitted - the field names do not match (MedATC) and the word 
"autofill" appears in the chk file, but is invalid.

My test files (all attached in full below) work just fine. You won't see 
the MedATC field until you go to the next entry field in the 
questionnaire. If these are the last fields on your questionnaire, then 
MedATC won't get filled in for some reason (in my test). When I added 
another entry field it will work fine. I don't know if this is in the 
bug list, but it seems to me that I have run into that before.

I'm using version 3.1 (the current release)
