    That sounds pretty weird. Can you zip your entire data folder and send it to me along with a copy of your exp and que files? I'll take a look and see if I can tell what happened.

    Update 8/22/06:

    Variables that were not being written to the byQuestionnaire data files were being skipped because they did not have a valid value in the 'WriteText' column. The WriteText column is supposed to have a 1 if the variable is numeric and a 2 if the variable is text. For whatever reason, these variables all had a 3 in this column. Very strange. We'll add a trap to detect that just in case anyone else enters or otherwise ends up with values other than 1 or 2 there.
