Thanks!! I too have been looking for an integrated Sweave-LyX-Beamer setup. I've had some scattered issues with Beamer itself in LyX without Sweave, and I've never had the chance to troubleshoot or document them. I'll check this out! -- M. Edward (Ed) Borasky http://www.linkedin.com/in/edborasky I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.
