But why is the OP using a backtick at all? It's not necessary in this instance (and in fact it's very rarely necessary at all unless you have used a syntactically invalid name with something silly like spaces in it). See ?Quotes for a little more detail on what ` does. Also, xtab should possibly be xtabs, and the first argument to that is a one-sided formula, not a vector: > library(HSAUR) > barplot(xtabs( ~ profits,data=Forbes2000)) should work fine. ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.
