Rich,
The melt syntax you provided in a previous email runs without error on the data that you just supplied. So, your comment that "dput() doesn't want to cooperate" suggests that maybe there is a problem with your waterchem data frame. Maybe someone else will have more insight into the problem.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
