Completely crazy!!
snipped rant.
So apparently "Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx" exists in my working
directory.
SO WHY DOES THE FOLLOWING BEHAVE THE WAY IT DOES?
OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(“Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx”, create = FALSE)
Most likely you need to quote that file argument. At the moment the
interpreter is probably trying to find an object named "Oil" in your
workspace. Try
OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook("“Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx"”, create = FALSE)
Interesting. Those "smart-quotes" did not appear in Mac Mail.app
display. I thought the file name was unquoted.
Mike;
This is yet another reason why you _should_ be posting in plain text.
And stop using MS-Word as your editor.

Error: unexpected input in "OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(“"
I can read an xlsx file in when I do:
OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(file.choose())
That is not a real, long-term solution.
Have same problem installing packages -- Can't get R to load a
package when
I specify a path.
Probably the same error, failing to quote when R expects to a
character object.
Works when I use file.choose()

Sigh. I _know_ that gmail will allow you to post in plain text.
