Hi!


I have just written the script for two Likert Scale questionnaires (surveys). The first time I ran it, it worked fine, no errors and the correct data was recorded. However I realized I did not write the correct anchors in one of the scales, I went back and changed this, and now Inquisit stops running past the instructions (right when its supposed to present the scale). I have tried to fix it, but it just wont work!


This is my script...
