Rerun your code and as soon as the error occurs type: > traceback() This will show more information on where the error is actually occuring. If this does not clear it up for you, then send more of an example of what you are doing along with the output of traceback (see the link at the bottom of all r-help messages for more information on heow to get good answers from the group) and we may be better able to help.
