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 in HyperRESEARCH you can use keyboard shortcuts to code audio and video? Just play your source file while listening and/or watching. When you come to the starting point of a segment you want to code, press Control-[ (if you use Windows) or Command-[ (if you use Mac OS X). Continue playing the segment, and when you reach the end of the part you want to code, press Control-] or Command-]. Your chosen segment is now selected, ready to have a code applied!

(This tip can be particularly helpful when you have a long source file and it's difficult to place the play head precisely enough at the spot you want to code. Using the keyboard shortcuts lets you code interactively, without fiddling with the controls on the screen.)
