<> Chuntao Li said I urgently need to build a dataset so that students can access the data from within stata, such as using the command like net from. Can someone tell me where I can find helps for this? You don't need to do anything special. You do not use 'net from' for data; you use it for user sites which allow the download of Stata programs. If all you want to do is allow downloads of .dta files, just put them on a server and publicise their location to the students: use http://your.server.name/directory/whatever.dta You may find the code of -bcuse- helpful in setting up a command for your students which allows them to avoid typing the full URL. Try ssc type bcuse.ado Kit Kit Baum | Boston College Economics & DIW Berlin | http://ideas.repec.org/e/pba1.html An Introduction to Stata Programming | http://www.stata-press.com/books/isp.html An Introduction to Modern Econometrics Using Stata | http://www.stata-press.com/books/imeus.html * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
