The issue is new to R-2.6.2. I solved my problem for now by replacing with R-2.6.1.
The icon to R-2.6.2 for **all users** starts in c:\Documents and Settings\YYYYY\My Documents where YYYYY is the login name of the person who installed. I tried changing this startup directory to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.2 (used for previous versions of R) and still had the same permissions issue. I also tried setting R_USER environment variable as I previously indicated. -- Rick Voland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ 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.
