    Missing variable name in vertical.mdb data file

    [edited from support email]
    I have some presentations that, after I run them and I try to open them in the vertical access file, seem to be missing some variable names in the data. It appears to be at position 12 of some of the questionnaires. The editor screen for these items don't look different to me so I was wondering if you knew what is going on. I will attach the output, experiment, and a couple of questionnaires so you can take a look.

    Took me a while to figure this one out. You have some embedded "trailing" spaces in the variable name "PSCue37" try deleting those blank spaces in the QUE editor and see if that helps. It's the only difference I found between it and the other items.

    Wow. Thanks for figuring that out. I'm not sure how you did it, but your suggestion worked.
