Hi, all.
A colleague has a problem creating a temporary file. When I run the
following do file (on a shared network drive, not my own C: disk)...
. clear
. set obs 10
. gen n=_n
. list in 1/5
. tempfile one
. save `one', replace
. exit
it works perfectly well. A file is saved in "C:\Documents and
settings\MyName\Local settings\Temp". When she runs it in exactly the
same location, she gets the following error message
. invalid 'Settings'
. r(198);
immediately following the "save".
My first thought was that there was a write access problem. But our IT
guy checked and said there is no difference between my rights and
her's. He then installed Stata on his machine and had the same
problem!! But when he ran Stata on our server, it worked, no problem.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this happens. Has anyone encountered
this problem or have a suggestion as to where we look next? We're
using Stata 10 on XP.
Many thanks
Joseph
