I think there's supposed to be a way to have sas automatically do backwards elimination in proc reg, but is there a way to do it in proc mixed? Our main issue is we have a lot of variables and we are not sure whether the cross terms are significant or not.

There is no direct way to do this with MIXED. This is a nontrivial matter, and there are lots of things to consider. There is a nice procedure called GLMSELECT for linear model selection, but only for fixed effects. A fascinating macro has been written to do what you are asking. See:

for a description. I have not used it, and it looks like it takes a lot of effort to set up and get to run (initially). But the output, including graphics, look great.

I'm going to stick with glmselect, the script posted by Prof Fernandez is not very easy to use.
