Extension Data Set Regeneration

Extension Data Sets exist in files separate from the parent .MDB file. If the parent .MDB file is revised for some reason, the extension data sets associated with the parent file must be regenerated. When you select a primary study, checks are made to see if the study has been revised since the extension data sets were created. If so, you will be presented with a message box similar to the one below, and given the opportunity to regenerate the out of date data sets.

If you know that you will not be using any of the user defined questions, you can say no and put off the regeneration until a later time. You will not be able to access the user defined questions, nor will you be able to create new ones.

If you decide to regenerate the extension data sets at this time, the Define New Question Editor View will load and the “User Defined Questions Automatic Regeneration Errors” will appear. Each defined question will be loaded. Component questions will be checked for conflicts or omission. If conflicts are found, processing will pause. The nature of the conflict along with any actions taken to correct the problem will be displayed in the Regeneration dialog.
