VARIABLES button in SPSS 15.

[Samir Omerovic]

Dear all,



I have recently begun using SPSS 15 and beside obvious advantages I have found out that VARIABLES
button on main SPSS window has some serious setbacks in comparison to previous versions. 'Go to
case' works just fine, but I often used 'Variables' to go to some variable which is now much easier
to do in Variable view. But imagine when you have many variables and do not know where they are and
you have to find them. This is why I loved that button in previous versions since I could enter
variable's name and there you go. But in SPSS 15 I can not do that. Any ideas why? Maybe I have not
set some options correctly.



Thanks



Samir

In February, this was raised ( V15 problem with variable drop down
list?) and at that time, I replied...(I hear that it won't be a patch,
let's hope for version 16!

This is a problem that has prevented our group from using SPSS 15 since
we depend on this function working.  We have reported it to SPSS, but so
far it has been considered low priority since not many have
noticed/requested it.  PLEASE send this in your request to get this
corrected and maybe we'll see it in the next patch!
