Question re part 3 midterm

for the merge component of the midterm I keep getting an error reading: file "fullowup data set" not Stata format

I have searched online and on stackoverflow to try and solve it but none of the solutions seem to allow the merge.  I can post my exact code but wasn't sure if that was allowed for the midterm.  Would appreciate any recommendations as I have not come across this error before.  Thanks.

HI Caroline, thanks for posting. 

Have you saved the followup dataset to a .dta file?
If so, double check you are pointing to the right location on your computer. You might have to use something like "data/followup.dta" rather than "followup.dta".
