I remember your SAS problems and wanted to share my SPSS problems with you.
I had gone through over 150 five page surveys painstakingly checking every answer with what was entered in the dataset. I had about 75 more surveys to go through, and i was feeling very accomplished. There were few errors, but enough to make the check worthwhile.
Then everything went bad and SPSS died taking about 7 hours of work with it. Being a newb and not expecting SPSS to crash, i didn't save often enough and I have no idea where i was in the stack the last time i saved. To be prudent, i need to start again from the beginning.
