Thank you for telling us that information. But you said you imputed values for several variables. I missed seeing that you said in your original message how many imputations you did. I've never used spss's imputation facility because I have mplus. You've got to be running genlinmixed. That said, I wonder if genlinmixed will work with imputed datasets. I'd guess that somebody on the list has run genlinmixed with imputed datasets. Perhaps they will respond. I'd expect that you could run a one level multiple regression model using your dataset. You could also run a one level ordinal regression model with genlinmixed. But, I wonder if you could run a model with mixed. Be interesting to know if the problem is with multilevel analyses, in general, or with genlinmixed, specifically.

The dataset has 9,000+ cases nested in 240(ish) institutions. The model is complex, four primary scales and numerous controls. Missingness was only a problem in one scale. I had five variables (part of the problematic scale), missingness on these variables ranged from 10.7% to 25.0%. I did imputation.
