Hi,
Many thanks for your answer. I have put a cd "" on the top of the do
file before running the code, so basically, I shouldn't have the
problem. The folder I am saving is a sub directory in "My Documents",
that is "My Documents/Data".
But when I right-clik on the Data folder to check its properties, I
see that folder is read-only. I remove the read-only button check and
re-run the stata code, but when I check again later the folder turns
back to "read-only". Very frustrating !!!
I am the owner of the laptop. I have administrator rights, so I do not
know what to do else.
Thanks for your time.
Amadou.

Hi Amadou,
If the folder where you're trying to save files (any files, xml_tab
output,
log, datasets etc) is write protected then of course that can
explain error
603, Stata needs to be able to save on that location. are you
specifiying
the full path in the save() or -using- options? if you just write
save(results.xml) that means that you want to save in the current
working
folder, which most of the cases is Stata folder (c:\program files
\stata10\
or something like that) and most probably protected by your system
administrator.
Try puting a path, which you are sure you have access to, like your
"my
documents" folder and see if you get the same problem.
Without having more info about your setup I can't think of any other
suggestion.
Best,
Zurab

Subject: st: File cannot be save error message. Problem with
xml_tab and
log using.

Hi,
I am using two computers with no usb or alike so I cannot show
what is
going on.
I am trying to output tabulations and regression results in a single
excel file. I am using xml_tab. Each set of results is saved in a
separate sheet. The first option of xml_tab is "replace" followed by
a set of "append" commands. However, After a few runs, stata
issues an
error message:
file can not be saved at this location
r(603);
I try to unprotect the folder (removed the "read-only" check) but it
still coming back to read only. Is that the problem? I have the same
problem when I try to save in a log file.
Best regards.
Amadou.
