Stata is currently stripping quotes from the action for the menu item.
We will fix this in a future update. In the meantime, Javier can
work around the problem either by using the spaceless version of
the path (probably something like c:\data\mydata~1\basewi~1.dta)
or by creating a short ado-file to -use- the data and calling that
ado-file from the menu system:
window menu append item "stUser" "use file" "usebase"
where -usebase- is a short ado-file:
program define usebase
version 8.0
use "C:\data\my databases\base with imputations.dta" , clear
end
