Walter, Here is what I do in similar situations. I am on WinXP but this should be similar on other systems (I hope).
1. I start R with the new .RData workspace (usually by double-clicking on it). 2. I go to File < Change Dir menu item. 3. I change the directory to where the old .RData is. 4. I do attach(".RData") The old .RData is no in position 2 of the search path. You can see what is there by doing ls(2). Then you can copy anything, say a data frame named dd, by just doing dd <- dd.

I then create a new workspace (a new .RData file) for another project but I want to move or copy the dataframe to the new workspace. How can I do this efficiently? Just do a dump and then a source? Is there another way? Thanks, Walt Paczkowski _________________________________ Walter R.
