amelia uses a public domain program called Dataload to do its loading, and
sometimes its not up to date on new programs. If you put the data in
ascii, then I'm much more certain it will work since we wrote that
data inpute routine.

Dear Dr. King,
I am trying to work with Amelia and am having problems inputting the data. When I input
the data from Stata, I get a message that the file is loaded. When I try to
run the program, I get a message that the variable is constant or completely unobserved.
I know that none of the variables in the dataset are constant or
completely unobserved, so I don't understand why I am getting this message. I also
tried to load the data from Excel and the same thing happened. Is this a
common problem? If so, it there a way to fix this?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Best,
Jennifer Merolla
