I experienced a file open error with estwrite and am wondering if someone can explain the cause or a fix.
estwrite works fine when I write to a folder in my documents on the c drive on my laptop.
but it generates r(603) when I try to write to a folder on a western digital passport portable hd connected to a usb port. Stata has no problem reading data or writing logs to the portable hd.
