Hi Steven and Peter,
I apologise for not providing the code for the sample
I now realise what I need may be a bit tricky...
my dataframe has hundreds of IDs in which case Steven's solution will not be
optimum
Peter's solution seems best, but how do I reverse this and use it to select the
dataframe rows which do not contain particular IDs say for example IDs 2 and 5
in this case.
Thanks again for your time
Rith

Or use subset():
DF2 <- subset(DF, ID %in% c(2,5))
