Greetings All. The function edit.data() allows a convenient spreadsheet-like view of a dataframe with too many rows/columns to fit on the screen (especially when there are many columns). Very useful when scanning through a dataset (row & column are conveniently identified by the labels at the side and above). However, there seens to be no option to set it "read-only" on start-up, with the consequence that a clumsy key-press or mouse-click could cause a change in the data which would then be stored after quitting edit.data(). Is there a possibility of a read-only option? Or some other function which could offer similar viewing capability without the risk of data change? With thanks, Ted. ------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding at wlandres.net> Date: 26-Mar-2013 Time: 10:08:58 This message was sent by XFMail

Thanks! ?View does indeed state "The object is then viewed in a spreadsheet-like data viewer, a read-only version of 'data.entry', which is what I was looking for! Ted.
