I have one explanatory dummy variable and several standard variables which are technically dependent on the dummy.....can i use the dummy as the dependent variable in a LOGIT regression against the other variables? or is it not possible to swap the dependent/explanatory variables?

It is not possible to switch the dependent/explanatory variables.

What you may want to do is use the System object to set up a "seemingly unrelated regression" model.

Or more simply, just regress each variable separately against the dummy.
