True, but Barbara doesn't seem to absorb the implications of this.
Barbara,there is no way Stata can read the file. The .txt extension is just not correct. You have to find out in which format the data were saved. Then you have to assign the file the proper extension and see which software can convert it to a text format (.csv would be better)
