[cc'ing back to r-help] You need to get the separator right: you specify slashes below where your date is space-separated
as.Date("02 03 2008", format="%m %d %Y")
note that the solution I gave you below assumed that your dates were
in d/m/Y order (since you didn't specify). You will have to modify
things slightly (i.e. specifying format explicitly) if that's not true.
