Hi, I have a problem using RExcel with a foreground server: in RExcel menu as well as in the window called by "set server" the foreground server option is grayed out. I have installed the rcom package and also tried to open R and type require(rcom), as explained on http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/excel/index.html, but it does not help. What am I missing? Many thanks, Werner __________________________________________________________ Dem pfiffigeren Posteingang.
