Subject:      Re: factor analysis

What is the type of your input data?
If it is the text file which converted from word program such as MS WORD.
It might be help to look for characters which you can't see but exists.
If you have SPSS version 6.xx, just View the Output of correlation or
covariance matrix of your data.
Otherwise, It must be better for you to regether the whole data.
I wish it can help you.
 
Bye.
