Bill,
I am in the process of trying to implement the same thing and there are a few factors to consider. Do you want to access ESRI from the R:Base application or do you want ESRI to access the R:base application? Is your R:Base a compiled application? This is very important as it determines whether you will need Oterro or not. If you want R:Base to access ESRI then it is very straight forward, you simply create a DSN-less connection to the spatial database ESRI is using (SQL , Oracle) and you are good to go. If you want to access R:Basse from your ESRI application, then there are other factors you will need to consider. If you have an application that you access via full R:base license(s) then the ODBC drivers should be available and you can access your R:base application from ESRI via the installed ODBC drivers in those workstation. If you want ESRI to access your compiled application, then you will have to get an Oterro license (ODBC drivers) since the Compiled version does not include them. One thing that you will need to keep in mind is that once you install Oterro, the number of allowed users is now the one in the Oterro license, since all the connection to the database will now go through Oterro, even if they are not ODBC connected sessions. I am looking at other approaches to this interface; feel free to e-mail or call me if you are interested.

I need to interface my CMA program with this application to produce spatial maps and satellite imagery. Thanks, Bill Eyring
