Ah hah! An elegant solution indeed!

There is no need for anything special or user written: -predict- (usually, there are exceptions) does not require that you use the same dataset. So you can just open dataset 1, estimate your model, open dataset 2, and use -predict-. Hope this helps, Maarten --------------------------------- Maarten L.
