What are your expectations as to what "length(names(tth$Mins.to.hospital))" should be returning? You need to at least provide some data so we can reproduce the error, or 'str(tth)'. My guess is that tth$Mins.to.hospital does not have any 'names' attributes and therefore your error. So what is the problem you are trying to solve with the expression that is giving the error?

Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve? Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
Hello, You must post a data example to get some help. Use dput( head(tth, 50) ) # paste the output of this in a post As for the warnings, they are not errors. They are telling you that it can't make a replacement. substitute(x) is probably returning NULL and the aggregate return value's column names are ill formed, 'count..' where it should be 'count.Mins.to.hospital'. Anyway, post a data example. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 24-08-2012 13:51, Lynn Hutchings escreveu:
