Dear forum,
I would like to use 10 tablets to collect data in field, should I copy the files in (same name ) in each of the tablets, I tried renaming the files according to enumerators names and was unable to open the files. also after entry it needs to be exported to one spss file for analysis, requesting your inputs and advice.

Thanks Titus.

Dear Titus

Please don't rename data file in the tablet, otherwise you can not open your file in tablet.

Just copy and paste your file from tablet to desktop/laptop, and then rename and merge.

Once you have the files from the different tablets, you can CONCATENATE (see the options under tools) into one file and use for the export operation.
