I have a comment and a question.
First, people should specify their platform explicitly in advance if
it's pertinent to their question. "64 bit" does not do that.
Second, the implication here seems to be that " " are essential on OS X
even if a filename contains no embedded spaces. I don't have OS X to
test that (my loss) but I'd be surprised if that were true.

Thanks Martin,
But that hint doesn't really help OS X users. If your are a mac user,
the solution is to use quotation marks around the path and to let STATA
create the file. For example,
. regress partratio empratio exratio popinv
. estout using "/Users/XXX/Documents/regress.txt"
This will create the file "regress.txt" for you in the defined place. No
errors.
