st: problems combining xtivreg and xtoverid or using xtivreg2 with random effects estimation

I tried it again and again and somehow it worked now. I excluded all the
omitted variables and xtoverid worked. Thank you very much for that!

precede your -xtivreg- estimation with the line version 10 [...]

I tried this as well, because I'm using Stata 11. It seems to solve the
problem with the omitted variables, too. But xtoverid brings out another
error message: " xtoverid error: internal reestimation of eqn differs from
original r(198);". But this doesn't matter, due to the fact that xtoverid
now works.

I have another question concerning this topic: Do you have any idea or
advice for me, how to get similar postestimations for xtivreg like the ones
you get in xtivreg2: weak identification test and underidentification test?


A few information about my analysis:
- a panel data with 62 groups and each 60 observations
- 59 exogenous variables, a few of them are dummies
- 2 endogenous variables with  5 instruments

Thank you all a lot, Daniel.
