Complex skips BETWEEN questionnaires

[stagarz]

Hi

I don't mind if skipping between questionnaires points to the first field of the questionnaire - in fact I have designed my experiment so that each skip between questionnaires is pointing to the first variable of the next questionnaire.

My problem is that the skipping is actually taking place BEFORE the position of the condition with the skipto value is reached. For example, I have an HTML item in position 23 in A.que with variable name cond_1. In the responses.xls I calculate the skipto value of cond_1 on the values of the variables from postions 1 to 22 of the A.que. However, I only see the first question of A.que and it then jumps to B.que, which is the default skipto value of cond_1. I have made sure that cond_1 in A.que appears after all the variables I need to calculate its skipto value. Also, in responses.xls, cond_1 appears after the variables its skipto value is based on.

Any ideas? Can I actually create a condition for skipping between questionnaires like that?

Thanks!

Sorry but I just discovered that the skipping ahead of time was my fault (had some wrong skipto values in positions 1-22 within the A.que). However, it does not work (see next post).

Actually, it does not work and I now realise it never did. It skips all reamining questions of A.que but just goes to the beginning of the next .que as they appear in the .exp file.

The only solution I can think of is to aggregate all my questionnaires into one and create a very long .que file and use the skipto within it

Can you post your que and xls files?

I have now changed my experiment files but I created and attach a simple example. No matter what I choose in a_q1 I always go to b_welcome (instead of b_q1 or c_q1).

I'm getting a message that the zip file is corrupt. Any chance you can re-zip and re-attach? Or send it directly to support@...com with a link to this thread.

Ok, that should work.
