I have the latest Stata and just tried areg with the robust option and it 
worked fine for me.  Perhaps you could post the actual commands you 
used.  You say you were running a "program" - if by program you mean a do 
file, perhaps the problem lies somewhere else than in the areg command.

You might also just try adding the command

version 8

to the top of your do file and see if that solves your problem.  As the 
online help says, "version # allows old programs to run correctly under 
more recent versions of Stata and ensures that new programs will run 
correctly under future versions of Stata."  See -help version- for more info.
