Carol, What you want to do is available through Syntax. e.g. add the compare and adj keywords to the commands generated in the GUI and pasted into a syntax window: /EMMEANS = TABLES(group*time) compare(group) adj(bonf) This will compare the groups at each of the three times. Using a bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. Other possible adjustments are Sidak and none.

here's the full syntax file: GLM time3 time2 time1 BY group /WSFACTOR = time 3 /METHOD = SSTYPE(3) /EMMEANS = TABLES(group) /EMMEANS = TABLES(time) /EMMEANS = TABLES(group*time) compare (group) adjust(bonferroni) /PRINT = DESCRIPTIVE /CRITERIA = ALPHA(.05) /WSDESIGN = time /DESIGN = group .

cheers, Patrick
