John,

The simplest was for you to go will be to create a directory on your computer specific to the project and place all relevant files in it. You can create any number of sub-directories as you see fit (highly recommended), but the simplest option will be to start with one folder.

Let’s call it "C:/My Documents/My Project”.

Create a do file in that directory. After whatever sort of default header you use (if any), the crucial line of code will be to -cd "C:/My Documents/My Project”-. Stata will change the default directory. Thereafter in the do file, you can call any other file within that directory without referencing the full file path (unless you want to).

Thus you can load mydata.dta simply by typing -use mydata.dta- and not -use "C:/My Documents/My Project/mydata.dta”-
