As you say, Stata can't find the file you name. I don't think we can do anything except advise that you check the name and/or search for it on your C: drive.

I received data from IPUMS and am attempting to open in STATA. Below is the .do file I am using. It can not recognize the file, I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction. I have double-checked the directory and it is correct.
The Error message that I receive is below the .do file. Thank you in advance for any help.
