Juan,
The RBloomberg with COM interface is an old one & only Java is now supported. The reason it works on colleague computers is that they did not update their RBloomberg package (as you pointed out 0.1 Vs 0.4 now) & are still running the old version The periodicity of your download is not defined when establishing the connection (why would it be?) but when using one of the BBG function (probably bdh in your case) - Just look at the RBloomberg manual for more info HTH, Julien > From: jjfgar...@renta4.es > To: n-...@qtradr.net; r-sig-finance@r-project.org > Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 12:22:15 +0000 > Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Finance] RBLOOMBERG--conn=blpConnect(iface="COM") > PROBLEMS > > Hi Nick > Sorry, i have been out of office for two days > > I tried what you suggested > > conn <- blpConnect() > > bdp(conn,"ES1 Index","PX_LAST") > > Everything works fine and R downloaded the last price > > I don't have any particular preference for the CONN interface, it is just > that this code is working fine in another computer.
