All, I have a script in which I am connecting to an MS Access data table. The script concludes with the output of a text file that I use in another program. My questions are these: 1) Is there a method by which I can interactively enter the MS Access table name at the time I run the script?can I pass the script a file name and/or path and file name (so that it doesn?t always have to be the same name)? 2) Is there a way form me to interactively enter an output table name at the time I run the script? Below are the means by which I am connecting and outputting data: con <- odbcConnectAccess([path to MS Access data table]) write.table([output table file name], file = "adjustedout.csv", append = FALSE, sep = ",", col.names = NA, qmethod = "double") I am not a programmer so ?talk? slowly. Answers to either, or both, questions would be greatly appreciated. If it matters I am using the Window binary version of R. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Steve
