Christian,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing the name of the global, but
still got the same error.
Any more ideas/suggestions are more than welcomed!!!
Thanks
Andrea

Andrea,
use another name for your macro "varlist". The ado -outreg- uses
"varlist" as well. And since you defined it as a global macro (which
remains valid even in the outreg ado) it most likely interferes here.
Best from Scotland,
Christian
