Well im thoroughly frustrated after 25 minutes of checking and rechecking my path. What do i not know about loading a mdb that is keeping me from loading my data.
i have loaded the Hmisc library and pointed it too my data using mdb.get and continue to get the following error. Error in system(paste("mdb-tables -1", file), intern = TRUE) : 'mdb-tables' not found Which i realize is saying that its not reading any tables within the mdb or not able to find any mdb at all at that location. the command i use is simply: RawInv.data..<-mdb.get('T:/Models/LandUse/GenericLandSupplyModel/Projects/2008BaseYear/EugeneUGB/Reporting/Summary.mdb') There is definitely a mdb in that location and the path is definitely correct. Its an MS Access mdb with 4 tables. When i open the said mdb i have to hit enter at a password window but no password is required. Could this be hanging up R from reading it? I have typically used dbf and csv or txt for import formats and am not real familiar with mdb but i realize how elementary this question is but i have spent 25 minutes now. What am i missing.
