My Dell PC computer has timing issues such that when Stata's accessing a file on disc, Stata can occasionally go too fast, at least compared to my computer, generating error messages about files being "read only". In my own code, if I have the program "sleep" for a few msec before accessing a file, I can get around this.

But is there anything I can do to slow down internal Stata code? I'm trying to MI reshape a data set, and I get error messages during the "assembling results" stage about files being "read only" which I know are indications of the same problem. [My computer at home, while generally running faster, does not have this problem, either in my other code or within MI reshape.]

Many thanks,

Laura
