SPSS Conjoint Analysis problem

[Janet Ohles]

I keep coming up with error messages and I can't figure out what i'm
doing wrong.  I am using SPSS 17.

The plan file is named plancards.sav and I have viewed the data plan
and it is fine.  The data file is named conjointthesis.sav.  There are
27 possible medication scenarios.  I have both the plancards and
conjointthesis files open in SPSS. 


I have input the following using <File> <New> <Syntax> , highlighted
the input commands and clicked on the forward arrow to run the file.

The commands I have input on four lines in the syntax dialog box are
as follows: 


1>CONJOINT PLAN='plancards.sav'
2>/DATA='conjointthesis.sav'
3>/SCORE='SCORE0 TO SCORE6'
4>/PLOT=ALL. 


The error message reads:

[DataSet3] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Osteo Thesis
\plancards.sav 


Warnings
Text: plancards.sav Command: CONJOINT
The file does not exist.
This command not executed.

CONJOINT PLAN='plancards.sav'
/DATA='conjointthesis.sav'
/SCORE='SCORE0 TO SCORE6'
/PLOT=ALL.

IF anyone can spot my error, I would greatly appreciate assistance. 


Many thanks

Are you sure that the file exists exactly as the message specifies?
