I see no error here, let alone an error in read.table as claimed in your
subject line.
The posting guide does specifically ask `Use an informative subject line'.
Please distinguish warnings about _your_ usage from errors in R.
The first warning is that R fixed up an error in your file: it is missing
a newline at the end of the last line (we can't see that in your listing).
The remaining warnings come from attach() and say you have already
repeatedly attach()ed ovendata. Learn to use detach() to match attach().
Also, in attaching ovendata you mask the function D in package stats,
which is probably OK as you are not using it, and your D is a not a
function.

Hey, Once again I ask for some quick help.
Here is some code:
ovendata<- read.table("ovens.dat",header=TRUE)
attach(ovendata)
print(ovendata)
Here is the .dat file:
D One Two Three Four Five Seven Eight
1130 254 252 375 384 252 375 876
127 250 250 384 386 251 378 875
Here is the R Console output:
