[R] Controling R from MS Access

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Felipe,

In the past I have done something similar. I had Access to run an R script in batch mode. The script reads data from Access, processes the data and puts data back in Access tables.

The user hit a button in Access and see a blank console window popping up. When the console window disappear, the script has completed.

Best regards,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
