The ability to drag questions and drop them directly onto the SPSS Data Entry Builder survey canvas has always made it easy to create survey questions. With the new toolbox with well in SPSS Data Entry Builder 4.0, it's even easier than before, because you can create questions with multiple response options at one time!

Here's how it works.

After you create your questions—whether from scratch, an existing SPSS file, or the Question Library—you simply:

• Go to the Builder window
• Click on the Insert menu tab
• Select the Multiple Response Set>Dichotomies menu options for a series of yes/no responses (see Figure 1)

When you get the list of possible set members (see Figure 2), check the questions to include in the set and click the Insert New Variable button. Now you can drag the variable to the survey form and drop it in the correct location in usable form.

The question is immediately ready for use (see Figure 3).
