Hi,

Works for me, try this:

SP500$Date <- as.character(as.Date(as.character(SP500$Date), "%m/%d/%y"))

SP500
        Date    Open    High     Low   Close     Volume
1 2006-08-04 1280.26 1292.92 1273.82 1279.40 2530970112
2 2006-08-03 1278.22 1283.96 1271.25 1280.27 2728440064
3 2006-08-02 1270.73 1283.42 1270.73 1277.41 2610749952
4 2006-08-01 1278.53 1278.66 1265.71 1270.92 2527689984
5 2006-07-31 1278.53 1278.66 1274.31 1276.66 2461299968
6 2006-07-28 1263.15 1280.42 1263.15 1278.55 2480420096

SP500.ts <- as.timeSeries(SP500)

cut.timeSeries(SP500.ts, from="1980-01-03", to="2006-08-02")
              Open    High     Low   Close     Volume
