Dear Tom,

I am not working with the merged file at the moment, just in the KR file. I ran a frequency table on the V005 and there were no missing values. All values were above 0. Would you mind trying this in the STATA programme to see if you get the same error? I am using the Bangladesh, 2011, KR file. Below is my syntax:

COMPUTE rweightCH=V005/1000000.
EXECUTE.

FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=rweightCH
/ORDER=ANALYSIS.

WEIGHT by rweightCH

And when I want to analyse my data using the weights, I get the following error:

>Warning # 3211
>On at least one case, the value of the weight variable was zero, negative, or
>missing. Such cases are invisible to statistical procedures and graphs which
>need positively weighted cases, but remain on the file and are processed by
>non-statistical facilities such as LIST and SAVE.

I hope you can help!

Thank you in advance,
Rachel
