.dta is usually a State data file. Thou would be able to read it in R with the
function read.dta in the package foreign.

Subject: [R] .dta from
dta is a very generic extension, so that is not enough information. I recommend
saving it and opening it with a text editor. If it is binary, you will need to
ask the sender how to open it.

library('foreign')
d <- read.dta('yourfile.dta')
read.dta() reads in files having "Stata version 5–11 binary format
into a data frame". Make sure you read the help page ?read.dta after
you load the foreign package and before you try to read in the data.

I got a .dta extension file by e-mail, but I can't save it in my computer
and open it in R. How can I do it?
