Thank you I will investigate the readings you have kindly referred me to.

Nancie,
Without knowing anything about your study, survey methodology or population
of interest, I think I can still say that in part you're talking about
sample size determination using a finite population correction factor (FPC),
at least for finite population parameters (i.e., means, totals).  However,
with regression coefficients you also get into superpopulation parameter
territory (i.e., parameters representing stochastic data-generating
mechanisms, rather than just direct functions of the observations in the
sample). I also imagine you had some idea about meaningful effect sizes. I
suggest you do some more reading:

Ultimately, a fully-specified simulation study might be the best way to go.

I hope someone can help me. I did a survey (validated) to collect data from
a fixed population of 600 as a convenience sample for an academic study. My
response rate was  14% or 83 responses. I am being asked to conduct a power
analysis retrospectively. Has anyone used powerreg in Stata for this purpose
on a survey/convenience sample in this manner? What advice can you provide -
I understand this a rather subjective number so need to know the inputs
required in this type of analysis to yield the best result. Thank
you. Nancie
