I finally got it. It was the xtable placed within the float that was causing
the table error. Once I had realised that and got rid of the APA6 issue which
was due to the fact that APA6 requires a title then it was fine. Thanks for all
the help.
This is working fine
<<atable,results="asis", echo=FALSE>>=
library(xtable)
data(tli)
tli.table <- xtable(tli[1:20, ], caption = "An xtable example", label = "tab:A
table")
digits(tli.table)[c(2, 6)] <- 0
print(tli.table, caption.placement="top")

One question though, you say "Use print.xtable(...,floating=F) to avoid this.
Do you mean that if I want to place it with a LyX float that the code below
should work? Currently it gives an error.
<<atable,results="asis", echo=FALSE>>=
library(xtable)
data(tli)
tli.table <- xtable(tli[1:20, ], caption = "An xtable example", label = "tab:A
table")
digits(tli.table)[c(2, 6)] <- 0
print(tli.table, caption.placement="top", floating=FALSE)

See attached. Two issues:
- You need to use chunk option results="asis" (similar to results=tex
for Sweave)
- By default xtable() outputs the table in a floating environment; it
makes little sense to put that in a table float. Use print.xtable(...,
floating=F) to avoid this.
