After banging my head against the wall for a few hours I called them and they sent this "work around."</span><br /><br />The problem you have encountered is a shortcoming in the current HLM 6 for Windows, which was released prior to the release of SPSS 14.<br /><br />HLM 6 for Windows can read SPSS data in one of two ways, namely<br /><ol><li>Using its own code (associated with the Input file type “SPSS for Windows" in the Make MDM dialog box) </li><li>Using the third-party software STAT/TRANSFER to do so (associated with the file type "Anything Else" in the Make MDM dialog box).</li></ol>For now, the only solution to using SPSS 14 files in HLM 6 is with a workaround:<br /><ol><li>Make sure that ALL your variable names in your SPSS 14 data files are a maximum of 8 characters.</li><li>In the Make MDM dialog box, select the "Anything Else" option from the "Input File Type" dropdown list box.</li><li>Click on the "Browse" button of the level 1 file specification section to load the "Open" dialog box.</li><li>Select the "SPSS data file" from the "Files of type" dropdown list box.</li><li>Browse for your level 1 SPSS data file.</li><li>Select your file and the select your level 1 variables.</li><li>Repeat steps 2-5 for the other levels of the model.</li></ol><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33296544-115644871178847152?l=ed-stats.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ed-statnoreply@blogger.com0
