EpiSurveyor is being used once again as the software of choice. Interesting as it coincides with the release of the new version of EpiSurveyor. Within a short time using the new feature of instant analysis I could see who has sent and not sent data to the server. It's mind boggling as to how the developers managed to do it. Kudos to the development team.
