A question on SPSS

[Mojdeh]

Dear Discussion group members 

In 2006 I saved the data in SPSS 13 and kept them until 2011 on a USB. Then in 2011, I removed all the data in the USB including my data in SPSS. When I needed the data again, I had to retrieve the data in SPSS 17.  The data are shown on the sheet (SPSS 17) but when I try  cross-tab or frequencies,a message says that the data is lost. 

I know that SPSS 17  can read  SPSS 13 but I do not understand why it says that the data is lost. 

Please could you help me in solving my problem over SPSS.

Best regards

Mojdeh

After reading your old data into SPSS 17 before doing anything, use “save as” and save the data into a new SPSS 17 dataset on your hard drive than start analyzing.
