Re: Importing From Excel

Any chance that CSPro will move beyond its record and column location format? That would be my top priority for a new revision. It seems like 20th century technology; about half of my wasted time is getting the correct column locations in the data dictionary.

Re: printing all survey questions directly from CSPro

Yes, this would be very helpful. We make our data publicly available and it used to be easy (with PAPI) to release the questionnaire.pdf (which had all the variable names right on it). But now...? I doubt that posting quest.fmf would have the same widespread use.
