Lina,
I cannot reproduce this error. The following example works fine for me
in Stata 9 and 10. -which margeff- returns
*! Version 2.1.7 (10 March 2008)
on my machine.
*** example
sysuse auto, clear
xi: ologit rep78 foreign i.headroom [pweight=price]
margeff
margeff, dummies(_I*)
*** end
If this example doesn't work for you, try updating -margeff-. It might
be out of date. Also, tell us which version of Stata you are using.
