In the end there was a problem in that the Eviews 8.0 Libary was getting de-selected each time - after being clicked and ticked. Solved it by saving the workbook.

Thank you very much Steve. I will follow your advice and report back.

Thank you very much for your reply Steve. I had in fact sent them the office (excel) file that includes the script and made sure they had enabled the correct reference (Type 8.0 Library) as mentioned in the OP. Apologies if it wasn't clear. I will ensure that they run the same version of Eviews as t...

Hello, I have created a VBA script that uses the Eviews COM object and it runs fine on my machine. However, when another user tries to run it they get the error: User defined type not defined and the debugger highlights the Dim mgr as New Eviews.Manager line of the following snippet Dim mgr As New E...

Thank you very much for the reply Gareth. Take care.

Also if anyone knows on a related note how to dynamically construct a VAR equation for a Kalman Filter. What I mean is for instance if I want 2 lags for 4 factors I will need to program a different equation than if I want 1 lag for 3 etc. Thank you.

Hello, I am using Eviews 7 on a Windows 7 machine. I am running a PCA and I want it to export principal compoenents dynamically, i.e. a loop from 1 to !F where !F is the number of principal components I need. Essentially if !F is 2 I want it to export 2 PCs, if !F is 4, 4 etc. %temp = "" f...

I get the same error, the Hessian is singular at iteration 1. It further says it is possible that this is caused by a control variable in one or more periods having no effect on any target variable. I tried adding numbers to the future positions of the endogenous variables but still get the same err...

The pdf documenting this is found in Eviews--> Addins--> docs.

Found it! You have to go to Eviews--> Add Ins --> Docs and there it is.

Are there any help files and if so how could we access them? Thanks.

Now it would be interesting to know how this was achieved. i.e. what is the code running behind this add-in? Is the creator in these forums?

I tried it on a simplistic model and it works as advertised! I made three groups: g_a is the group with the add factor variables to change g_var is the group with the variables we want to follow a specific path g_path is the group with the specific paths we want our variables to follow The order of ...

Thank you very much for this informaiton Gareth. I will try it today and let you know how it goes.

OK I tested it and it works great for one variable. It works as follows for anyone else interested: say you want to change the variable es to follow a specific path es_path by fiddling with the add factors of gr (gr_a) in your model named (rather imaginatively) model. You do: model.control gr_a es e...
