Hi Kari,
The problem would appear to be that the E-Prime data is collected and ordered by its list- (thus, presentation) order. Although I'm sure it is possible, one way or another, to force the data of a later task to be in the first task (ex1), I don't see a simple solution. However, if you fiddle around with E-DataAid, you can easily get the result for each picture, for example, by doing Analyze --> choosing the picture-name in the Row, and conditions etc from the two tasks in the Column. 

But if you prefer the difficult route, you could store data from the first task in a couple of arrays or a matrix. For example, if you have 2 pictures with RTs, you could make an array:

'put this in user script (alt+5)
dim RTs() as long

And, let's say you have an attribute like PictureNum which gives each picture a unique number. Then, a script in task A would put the relevant data in the array, like:
RTs(c.GetAttrib("PictureNum")) = TextDisplay1.RT 'that is, if this textdisplay1 is the one that collects rt data.
And a script in task B would store that, if the picturenum is used there as well:
c.SetAttrib "RTOfPictureInPreviousTask", RTs(c.GetAttrib("PictureNum"))

I'm not sure what your task looks like exactly, so I'm sorry if the above is not as relevant as I hope it is, but I hope it at least illustrates the underlying logic.
Hope this helps any.
Best,

Hi--

I am currently writing an experiment in 2 parts.  the first part is a
priming task, so i have 2 pictures, each with a set of attributes,
randomly selected as primes and targets and i'm recording RT.  In the
second part, I have participants go through each picture individually
and rate them on a few scales.  The problem I am having is that I
can't seem to match up the ratings for the second task with the RT and
other parameters from the first task.  Is there a way to force the
ratings into the same e-data spreadsheet that is generated for the
priming task?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you so much,
Kari
