Dear Ziad,
as Svend Juul pointed out in his yesterday's reply, -merge-may be a useful
tool.
Otherwise, provided you have not a different number of id between baseline
and follow-up, files, you can try to copy and paste educ variable (but
results are usually worse than with Svend's solution).
Kind Regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Adding variable from baseline file into cohort based file
Dear STATA lister, it might be very simple question:
 Any tips how I can add a variable, called 'educ' from a baseline file
 'baseline' into follow-up file (cohort based, where patients have been
 followed over 12 months time)?
 Thank you in advance and best regards
 ziad
