Abstract As more surveys that historically were paper/mail surveys have begun offering the option of electronic data reporting, the potential for editing data at data capture has greatly increased. This paper examines that editing potential for electronic data reporting through computer selfadministered questionnaires (CSAQ) via web surveys, downloadable software, and e-mail attachments. The presence and the extent of fatal and query edits that are implemented at the initial data entry and capture, versus those implemented in the traditional data editing stage is dependent on: 1) the amount of development resources dedicated; 2) the sophisticatio  of the electronic option selected; 3) the security of the transmission that is required; 4) the quality of the data that is required; and, 5) the amount of respondent burden that is acceptable. Some specific examples in business surveys will be discussed to illustrate the balance between these factors and optimization of the total survey operation.
