Hi all,
I'm trying to import Microsoft Access data into R. It looks like I'm
supposed to use the ROBC package, and this works fine with old Access
files (those with an .mdb extension).
However, lovely Microsoft must constantly update their software. Modern
Access files have an .ACCDB extension. I cannot seem to coerce R to import
data from such a file. Any advice?
I've been using this code:
testdb <- file.path("c:/Salmon_data.mdb")
channel <- odbcConnectAccess(testdb)
Data <- sqlFetch(channel,"Table1")
When I replace it with an Access 2007 file:
testdb <- file.path("c:/Salmon_data.accdb")
channel <- odbcConnectAccess(testdb)
Data <- sqlFetch(channel,"Table1")
Try
odbcConnectAccess2007
instead.
