Data: RESID already exists and can not be overwritten in

[vutaikt]

A number of months ago, I wrote a couple of programs. One of the program pulled some data from a number of sources, did some adjustments and saved it into a database, adjusting for a specific frequency. The second program pulled the data from this database and that where I completed some estimation and econometric work.

In the past, I never had an issue with saving or pulling data from the database. However now, when I go to save or pull data I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

RESID already exists and can not be overwritten in (FILE PATH)

I'm wondering what the problem might be and how I can fix this. In the period between uses of the program, my workstation was updated to Windows 7 as well as re-installed copy of Eviews. Is there an option or something I need to adjust?

Sounds like you're trying to fetch the resid series, which cannot be done. Without knowing more details it is hard to give further advice.
