See the last line on every message to r-help.  You need to put
together a minimal self contained example that illustrates the
problem.
The best I can do with the information provided is to point out that this works:

> Lines <- '"","Fish_ID","Date","R2sqrt"
+ "1",1646,2006-08-18 08:48:59,0
+ "2",1646,2006-08-18 09:53:20,100'

(08/18/06 08:48:59) (08/18/06 09:53:20)
                  0                 100
