No.
-merge- in Stata 11 still supports the old syntax, but when you try to use the new syntax your problem is, so far as I can guess, evidently that your Stata is (still) not properly -update-d. -merge- needs to use various Mata programs that it cannot see on your Stata.
Type -update query-.
If that doesn't work, see Maarten Buis' advice to contact Stata tech support.

Thank you for your response.
I updated and tried the merge again but got the same error message afterward.
Then I tried again
merge vid using "C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\hsp"
please not it is without m:1 whichstata 11 requires and then it worked.
however before the update I tried merge without the m:1 but it said
you have to use the new merge command.
my question now: is merge randomly working?
