Hi Gordon

Sorry, but i used lmFit()

 > COR <- duplicateCorrelation(nwaMA, ndups=2, spacing=840, DESIGN)
 > COR$cor
[1] 0.3662469
 > FIT <- lmFit(nwaMA, ndups=2, spacing=840, DESIGN, 
correlation=0.3662469, method="ls")
 > class(FIT)
[1] "MArrayLM"
attr(,"package")
[1] "limma"

I've been using this for a long time now and stopped using lm.series() a 
long time ago....

I've now managed to get this to work however
I was using the wrong version of ebayes.......?
I was using ebayes and NOT eBayes (mainly from habit)
apologies for the confusion

"you need to give it output from lmFit() and eBayes()"


Well just the output from eBayes ?
As the former gives the following message:

Error in array(x, c(length(x), 1), if (!is.null(names(x))) list(names(x),  :
        attempt to set an attribute on NULL


Thanks for your help and advice
Cheers

Jason
