Hi Farrel I have taken a look at the problems using RGoogleDocs to read spreadsheets and was able to reproduce the problem I believe you were having. A few minor, but important, changes and I can read spreadsheets again and apparently still other types of documents.
I have put an updated version of the source of the package with these changes. It is available from http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs_0.4-1.tar.gz There is a binary for Windows in http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs_0.4-1.zip Hopefully this will cure the problems you have been experiencing. I'd appreciate knowing either way. Thanks, D.
