Why did HyperRESEARCH ask me where my source file is?

Print | Email

HyperRESEARCH stores the location of each of your source files inside the study file. If you move or rename a source file, or if you move both sources and study file to a new location or a different computer, this stored location is no longer correct. When you access the source file - for example, when you click a code reference in the study window, or when you display a report that includes source data - and the program can't find the source file, it asks you to locate it.

Once you specify the source file's new location, this location is stored in the study file. To make sure HyperRESEARCH doesn't continue asking for the file's location, just make sure to save the study file after locating the source files for HyperRESEARCH.

Do You Know...

... that if you use HyperTRANSCRIBE to create your transcriptions, you can use the document as a source in HyperRESEARCH? The transcription can be coded just like any other text document, and a pane at the top of the window shows the original video or audio file. Click a time code in the transcription to go to that point in the video or audio, and play it while scanning and coding the text.

By using a HyperTRANSCRIBE document, you can get all the benefits of working with a text transcript (precision, easy scanning, searchability) while keeping the benefits of having the original media file (emotional context and subtleties that may not come through in a transcription). Work with all your senses and with multiple modalities, to get new insights and better mastery of the source material.
