R help - Nov 2006 - Hmisc, latex cdec not as expected - again

Hello all. 

Sorry for reposting this message, but I accedently sent it in
HTML-format the first time. 

I have encountered at problem when using the Hmisc package to generate
latex-tabels. 

I can't seem to control the number of digits in the latex-file. I have
used the Design and Hmisc packages for a while without this problem, but
after upgrading to R-2.4.0 the problem has occured. 


I have made a clean installation where I uninstalled all earliere
version
of R, and I re-installed all packages. 

Below is a simple example, where the output has 15 digits after the
decimal-point. 

I have then tried to use the 'digits'-option, but that gives an error. 

R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03)

> tabel <- summary(x~y, data=tmp)
> latex(tabel, cdec=3)
> latex(tabel, digits=3)
Error in format.df(object, dcolumn = dcolumn, na.blank = na.blank,
numeric.dollar = numeric.dollar,  : 

        only one of digits, dec, rdec, cdec may be given

I hope someone can help. 


With kind regards Henrik
