Thanks. odbcDriverConnect worked fine for me, too, with new Excel 2007 formats: library(RODBC) channel <- odbcDriverConnect("DRIVER=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb);DBQ=G:/RODBC/TimeOrdering.xlsx; ReadOnly=True") d <- sqlFetch(channel,"Sheet1", as.is=TRUE) odbcClose(channel) names(d) I haven't checked, but the same trick is likely needed for Access 2007 using RODBC. On Windows Vista with Office 2007, the ODBC Data Source Adminstrator shows two drivers for Access: Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb). In Access 2007, the new database extension is .accdb instead of .mdb. efg ______________________________________________ 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.
