As the posting guide (you did read the posting guide, didn't you?)
says, it helps if you can provide a reproducible example.   Otherwise,
we can only guess at what you mean.

Try taking a fitted model and examining

model.matrix(model)

and

coef(model)

It should be the case that

model.matrix(model) %*% coef(model)

is reasonably close to fitted(model).

I just saw that Dimitris wrote almost the same thing but, since I have
written it, I'll mail it anyway.
