I of course understand you would not open a file from an unknown source.
So here are some more details:
I have typed update qu and stata returns:
____________________________
Stata executable
folder: C:\Program Files\Stata10\
name of file: wsestata.exe
currently installed: 14 Jun 2007
latest available: 04 Mar 2008
Ado-file updates
folder: C:\Program Files\Stata10\ado\updates\
names of files: (various)
currently installed: 14 Jun 2007

Recommendation
Type -update all-

The problem cannot be a defective installation because I tried the same
thing on my collegue's machine, on stata 9.
Now, I dont know what you mean by "Is ac006 a string variable, or is it
labeled?".
I know two things: string or numeric. By "labled" you mean "numeric"?
The variable is numeric and the storage type is float:
___________________________
. describe ac006
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ac006 float %9.0g `partner: net income per month
(euro)`

What can i do now?
Thanks in advance.
