hi, i was trying to perform a function from the RDCOMClient package. to make it short: i tried to run the example in ?.COM, namely e <- COMCreate("Excel.Application") books <- e[["Workbooks"]]
as soon as e[["Workbooks"]] is called, the RGUI crashes. debugging the function .COM reveals that somehow the connection between R and the external funcions does not work, because the crash happens when .Call("R_Invoke", obj, as.character(name), .args, ......) is called. however, in the function COMCreate the .statement Call("R_create", name, PACKAGE = "RDCOMClient") works. it doesnt work with the bloomberg connection, as well. maybe i have to install some additional things? thx in advance for your help, marcin ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
