Thanks Nick
True to your word, my horrible design wont even work, here is the error
message
. fbar year, by(npract) perc
too many categories in by() variable
Any ideas on a better approach to simply illustrate (graphically) that
either more or less housholds have done something from 1990 to 2000.

Check out -fbar- from SSC. It seems to
need a -reshape- first.
Thisn't quite what you want
(which personally I think is a horrible design)
but it is near.
rename npract00 npract2000
rename npract90 npract1990
reshape long npract, i(id) j(year)
fbar year, by(npract) perc
(There is lots of scope for bar charts
in Stata 8.)
