Hello,
I'm a grad student desperately trying to complete my thesis but it seems I am having trouble with the basics of SPSS. I have 150 variables (set up in this particular file by a professor) but every time I open the file only 26 variables appear. All my respondents show in the data view--my problem is with the variable view. When I "get info" (use a Mac) on the file, the properties show there are 150 variables in the file but once I actually open it and select the "variables" button, only 26 show. I have one idea what to do....any advice is much appreciated! I've Googled it...played around with different buttons (on a copied version-original file intact) to no avail. I'm using a student version--could that have something to do with it?
