autstat Support

Hi Thomas,

I have recently started to have a problem with my R connection. I am using the foreground R Type, and my code seems to execute fine but I cannot return data to Excel using GetArray and GetDataFrame.

Below is my macro:
Sub RandomMatrix()
Dim rintf As RInterface
Set rintf = New RInterface
rintf.RRun "RandomMatrix <- matrix(rnorm(9), ncol = 3)"
rintf.GetArray "RandomMatrix", Range("Sheet4!B24")
End Sub

I can see the object RandomMatrix in my R window:
> RandomMatrix
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1.9480616 0.6431035 0.91678190
[2,] -0.5752321 -0.0548050 -0.04544778
[3,] 0.2750655 -0.5455678 0.09748478

But Sheet4 remains blank.

Below is the debugging information when I first connect to R, I think the problem may be in the last line regarding BDX functions.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Ben,

I can see two problems there:

1. it looks as if an outdated version of statconnDCOM is installed
2. rscproxy not installed in the correct directory.

Please download and unpack the "Setup Test/Maintenance Tool". Then run it and choose "Analyze System" in the dropdown list and click on "Start". This might provide some additonal insight into installation problems.

Please also report the version of statconnDCOM installed.

Thomas
