Thanks for your reply... Then...Is it not good to download bloomberg data from R? I also saw that the RBloomberg package has some error in the site "http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html"; specified by you. Also, while downloading intraday data, even after specifying only trading days, R used to give all non-trading day's data also...thought it would not be updated...Is it reliable to go to R in downloading data from Bloomberg? I am worried...

Don't know why this worked in older versions of R. Maybe CRAN did not check dependencies back then?
