Hello Stata-User. Sorry for my english, i live in germany and i speak and write not so often .... so excuse me for the bad grammar We have a little Problem with Stata vers. 10.We use Stata on a 64bit version of Windows xp. Our Problem is, that we can't open the *.DTA files automatically. We have to open the files (open with ...) after every System start (we selected the option "open always with" already [with the admin-account]). We have this problem only on the 64bit System. We can open the *.DTA files on a 32bit Windows XP with a double click. Have anybody an idea, what we can do, to open the files automatically ?



Try the following:

Right click on a .dta icon and select "Open with". Then "Select the program from a list" and "OK". Browse for stata and select "Open", then check "ALways use the selected program to open this kind of file". Then "OK".

If that fails, try reinstalling Stata.

Are you using Stata over the network? Stata sets the file associations during the install, so on a network installation the file associations will be missing on other computers. Or the file association may be lost through some other reason.

For our network installs, we execute the following .bat file on client computers to establish associations:

assoc .dta=StataData
assoc .do=StataDo
assoc .smcl=StataSmcl
assoc .gph=StataGraph
ftype StataData="\\1050-fileserver\home\windows\Stata\wstata.exe"  use       "%%1"
ftype StataDo="\\1050-fileserver\home\windows\Stata\wstata.exe"    do        "%%1"
ftype StataGraph="\\1050-fileserver\home\windows\Stata\wstata.exe" graph use "%%1"
ftype StataSmcl="\\1050-fileserver\home\windows\Stata\wstata.exe"  view      "%%1"

where \\1050-fileserver is the location of our networked edition of wstata.
