Wonderful! Thank you for the quick reply.

In the meantime, is there a way to separate out which files are standard DHS and which files are other types? I am using a lot of countries for my current project, and I am trying to automate the read-in process as much as possible.

From what I can tell the files follow an identical naming pattern across standard DHS and MIS. Also, a quick look at the survey data reveals no indicator for which type of survey it was. Hence, it appears that the only option currently is to read in the data set, check whether all the variables I need are available, and drop the data set if they are not. Is there another way to do this?
