I think I have a data.frame called "statlab".
> is.data.frame(statlab)
[1] TRUE
and I can perform summary, dim, ...
but when I try
> attach(statlab)
Error in attach(statlab) : attach only works for lists and data frames
I am using
> version

platform i686-unknown-linux
arch i686
os linux
system i686, linux
status
major 0
minor 90.1

This has got to be embarrassingly simple.
Any one like to point out my error?

Your R version is a tad old, but I wouldn't expect that to be the problem. The best guess is that statlab is not really a dataframe, but something else with a "data.frame" class attached to it. Looking at the output of str(statlab) could be informative. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

I guess this will solve it.
