[R] wroung groupedData despite reading Bates and Pinheiro 3 times

[hpdutra]

Hi Milton, I tried this and it worked. 
But the block structure isn't right because when I try to plot this I still
get an error message
traps<-groupedData(mice~tree|plotID,outer=~time*fruit*veget|block,data=trap)
> plot(traps,outer=T)
I guess my question is should I try to fit a more simple grouped data
structure and leave the formula of my model to deal with it? 
All I want is to generate a 3 graphs, one for each block, with mice as the
response variable, time as the x axis and the different treatments as lines.
I know I can do that using lattice. But I want to run my model after that,
so I need to get the groupedData correct.

Thank you very much

Humberto Dutra


try

trap$time<-factor(trap$time)
 trap$block<-factor(trap$block)
