I have been having a problem with Stata 10 and I'm not sure if it is a
problem with the software or perhaps my hardware.
The problem is that when I view a dataset using Data Editor sometimes
I see duplicates of the same variable (two columns that are identical
next to each other). Also when I close the Data Editor with the X in
the top right corner (OS is XP Pro) or the Preserve button, I see Edit
then Preserve in Results Window, then when I re-open Data-Editor one
of the variables will be missing. This happens consistently. I
open,close, and re-open Data Editor and each time I do that I lose a
column. (Note: in the Variables window the lost variables still
appear but if I run a display command on them the result is "not
found")
I have the most recent update of Stata and am thinking it might be a
memory problem but I thought I would check to see if anyone else had a
similar experience because I have not noticed any memory problems in
other applications.
