Re: st: re: STATA error r(603) File could not be opened

I guess this problem is idiosyncratic to a few Windows 7 computer set ups.

In addition to the post you cite, I find that sometimes it's enough to put 
in a line of "sleep 2000" before the read or write statement.  Another 
time I slowed things down by putting the dataset on a flash drive and 
running it off that directory.
