(thanks for the suggestion Maarten - your example did work for me)
I now realize that the problem occurs when using BRR and bootstrap weights.
The data set which I am using does not have strata or PSU info. I also
tried it using nhanes2brr and I was not able to obtain the SEs or CIs.
I have tried to use both of the following commands and some variants:
. svy: tab var1 var2, row se ci
. svy brr: tab var1 var2, row se ci
Neither method has produced the standard errors or confidence intervals. I
am able to get the estimates by using the proportion command and subpop,
but the output is not as clear as that produced by the tab command.

Weird. I ran the following two commands and it did produce standard errors:
webuse nhanes2 /*load an example dataset*/
svy: tab sex heartatk, row se ci
Do these two commands work in your Stata?
