For those of you who didn't hear during class or have an ongoing problem with this log file issue (see previous thread), we got a response from Stata@stata.com about this:
"There are some unusual quotes that are triggering this issue. I suspect that either these quotes are being copied and pasted into Stata or that there is a language input modifier running that is outputting the non-ASCII quotes.
For opening the log it looks like the dialog was used and the quotes were added there. The dialog is smart and you don't need to include any quotes for the file name when you use the dialog system."
The problem was cutting and pasting from the word doc - the quotation character " gets messed up! If you just delete it and then type " instead, it will work.
