My experiment requires that I have duplicate variable names (which I skip past so nothing is overwritten that shouldn't be). Because of the duplicates, I get an error message when that questionnaire is first reached. I don't want my participants to see this. Is there a way I can suppress the error message so it doesn't show up?
There is no formal way, but maybe there is a work-around. May I ask why you want to duplicate the variable names?
Well, my experiment involves a prioritization of 12 custom items to respond to, and through a very large responses.xls file and relisting the items in the questionnaire 12 times, I have gotten it so that they rank order the 12 items and then must go through the list in that order. If I were to change the names of the variables so as not to get the message, I'm not sure I would be able to juggle everything correctly in the responses.xls file.
