AMOS problem when trying to calculate estimates

[AlixGodfrey]

I am new [ish] to using AMOS and am working through the user guide [the only difference is that I am using version 22 but the guide os for version 21]. Everything seems to be working fine, my setup looks the same but when I click on calculate estimates is only goes as far as 'Scanning Hamilton' 'Reading data' and doesn't do anything else. Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

Hello, I am encountering the same problem and wonder if anyone here has found a solution.

I've recently installed AMOS 22 and SPSS 22 onto a new machine. I'm working on CFAs from old .amw files that previously ran without any problems.  However, when I try to calculate estimates on my new machine I encounter the same message in the "computation summary" dialog box:

Scanning [spss filename]
Reading data

At the bottom of the window the statement "Not estimating any user-defined estimand" appears.

Any ideas as to what might be going wrong?

Hi Katkate,

Did you define any estimands when you worked on the CFA models on your old computer? If you did, you need to copy that file containing your user-defined estimands into your project folder created under AMOS 22 on the new machine.

The user-defined estimands should be stored in a Visual Basic (i.e., VB) file or files. Just copy and paste the VB file(s) into the same folder as your amw files.

Hello,

I am encountering the same problem. Its really doing my head in. Amos just says "Reading data" and does nothing else. Please how did you resolve your issue?

Hi,

 

Sorry, I can’t remember!! It was something very simple I know but completely forgotten as I haven’t used AMOS since I posted that question and I don’t even have in on my computer anymore.

 

If I remember I’ll let you know. I think I eventually found the answer online

 

Sorry.

Hello

I am also encountering the same problem re: 'Scanning' 'Reading data' when I am running my CFA model using AMOS 22. Does anyone found the solution for this problem? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you very much.
