both versions work on my pc, but on the pc where i have bloomberg installed the things i described do not work. the rcom peckage works, but comCreateObject creates an object which is somehow different from what COMCreate creates. especially the Slot "ref": row is not present anymore and so RBloomberg package functions do not work.
any idea?
