what happens if you don't open the workfile?

Unsurprisingly, EViews declines to run a regression without a workfile. But at least it doesn't crash.

Several of us have tried using various settings, but we cannot replicate this one. What happens if you just open the workfile and try to estimate the equation without changing the settings?

No problem at all.

Have you updated to the most recent version of EViews?
