Hello R-Help, is there any way of using the RODBC Package on a Mac OS X System? If yes, what do I need to get it running. Concerning these issues, I am pretty unexperienced, so please state any step necessary. The actual problem is accessing data in Excel- files. (unfortunately no alternative way of entering the data).

I gather from reading the back-issues of r-help that it should be possible (modulo a number of caveats) to read an excel (yuck!) file into R using RODBC. I have obtained and installed ODBC and the RODBC package, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about it. Can anyone give me a simple recipe? I have an excel file on cdrom, say: /mnt/cdrom/melvin.xls I have started R and loaded

Hi WizaRds, I'm experiencing a problem connecting to an Oracle 10g database via RODBC (I'm getting this on Microsoft XP).

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine.

L.S. I am trying to get data from an excel sheet using the RODBC library, quite like the example on page 34 of the 'Data manipulation with R' book written by Phil Spector.
