Can you make your question more very clear. What kind of data you have and what kind of analysis you want to do in it?
Most of the analysis in SPSS-17 can be done from 'Data' and Analyze' tabs. -

Pl. Send your data and topic of your research and chapters. I will do the analysis and send the tables to you -
You could start with descriptive statistics in the menu Analize, at the first line: descriptive, then select media, DT, kurtosis, etc. This first step is necessary in order to verify if data are normaly distributed, particulary if the sample is small. Your could select some demographic variables too, for sample description. -
Dear Farhad Zulfiqar, Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually I don’t know ABCD of SPSS, I just enter the data in the sheets. I know there is Tab “Analyze” in which different options (e.g. Reports, Descriptive statistics etc.) are available.
I have tried but failed to run this option fruitfully. My study is a randomized clinical trial, with three main variables for six months, examination at baseline, then examine test and control subjects' data after 1, 3 and 6 months. I want to compare the test and control data to see the effect of test material. I think in my case we may be used:
“Repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Mauchly’s test of sphericity & Greenhouse-Geisser test” or a statistician may be use better tools than me. -
Dear Sugu, Farhad Zulfiqar, Padmanabha Rao and Carmen Camach, Thanks for your interest and help. I will try to follow your instructions. Thanks.

How many groups? Variables? What kind of variables? -
One book I found really helpful was "SPSS for Dummies".

If you are going to do some treatment for every single data, the result would be in the next column. if you want to do some statistical analysist Similarly to Stata, Eview , what you need to do is Press some button n that is come up the output....it is really easy
best regards -
I suggest, read your SPSS-17 guide, thinking what you want? If you just have two group results you just need student t-test to analyze your results. If you have more than two group, you need one way ANOVA, and under the ANOVA, you have bunch of choices, such as Scheffe's test, Bonferroni's test ... -
You can find "User Manual" for SPSS online. I also analyzed data by following the instructions provided in this manual.
-
first you should write what type you have data, qualitative or quantitative. by the type of data you choose the model, you want to apply in your research. when you decided the model and dependent and independent variable, you can easily apply this by the SPSS. I think you should download user guide of SPSS from the internet and read it carefully to learn the process.

There are many books helping researchers like you to carry out analysis e.g Andy Field's "Discovering Statistics using SPSS". -

I do not know how I can send you highly explanatory soft copy Textbook on SPSS for layman, I think this would serve as a guide and take a long way in solving your statistical software challenges. -
SOS: SPSS Survival Manual by July Pallant. Very step-by-step. Don't worry, it's like maths only. Straightforward to result. Only need to know the interpretation for results. What you exactly need for your research. Best of Luck.

Dr. Muhammad:
the comments of hasiyec are very important. First you need know what do you want to do?, ¿what is the aim of your research? The science statistics contain a lot of tools for data treatment. Maybe you need to read some about it.
The book "social statistics" of blalock is a very good one for amateurs. -

So, two groups, correct? How many outcomes did you measure?
-
Four (4)

well, the simplest approach would be to do a one-way anova on each dependent variable. also, do a correlation between the DVs to see if there are sig relationships. You could also do a MANOVA, which might be more sensitive if some of the differences are subtle. I find simpler is better, so suggest doing the one-way anovas. If differences are there they are clear and easy to talk about, you don't need to "convince" anyone they are meaningful. If you need to milk the data with other stats then the differences may not be clinically meaningful. If you have sig differences then you can also look at effect sizes, which, if the are large enough can be very persuasive of real effects.
