hi,

it looks as though your spss file is corrupt, but we should still be able to work around this. either attach it here, or email it through to contact <at> jamovi.org

hi,

thanks for sending that through. the problem seems to be with the label of the 'introduction_agree' column. it looks as though there's some sort of 1024 character limit that it is running up against. i'll need time to look into it. in the short-term, if you simply shorten the length of that label in spss, jamovi should be able to open it.

i've created an issue here:

cheers
