>>Thank you, this is good to know. I can't afford another software
program so I may need to report a simpler model than I would like to
create. I may tinker with WinBugs in the meantime. Thanks again,

You can get "rental" copies of HLM 6 for short term use for less
(including a free 15 day trial version), or see if it's available at a
computer center near you.
winBUGS is really, really fantastic but it's going to be unhappy with a
dataset the size of the one you have. There are some other MCMC
solutions available in R. Learning curve costs on these solutions are
substantial.
