I just spotted this problem also.
I am on the road right now (UseR008),
and I will do a fixed version next week,
BTW: I bever user une letter variable names (outside of dataframes),
therefore I neve stumbped on this.

Dear Erich and Scott,
Concerning the third point the
LegalRandRangeNameFrom function of the RInterfaceSupport module
causes the
problem. It contains a 'do--loop until' construct which assumes that
the
name is at least two character long. One possibility is to change it
'while--wend' loop, it does not do anything if length is 1,
otherwise the
same as it is now. The other possible work around is to define the
empty
string as non digit in the isdigit function of the same module.

Thanks for your help everybody... the tips to load the rcom package
and
hit
return a few times to clear up a freeze did the trick. I'm now
able to
get
RExcel in a usable state with ESS.
I've noticed a few strange things as I was playing around, I wonder
if you
might have any thoughts on them:
1) It doesn't seem possible to select Foreground server right
away. When
I
open Excel, then go to RExcel->Set R Server, the Foreground Radio
Box is
greyed out. The two ways I've been able to get RExcel to work are
to (a)
choose Background and check the Remote checkbox, then either leave
Server
address blank, or put in my local machine's name, then click save,
then
click close and go about using RExcel or (b) Click on the Remote
check
box,
click "Save" (this activates the Foreground radio box), select
Foreground,
uncheck Remote, then check RGui visible, then click Save (this
greys out
Foreground, but it is still selected), then click close and go
about using
RExcel.
2) The R Server settings don't seem to be persistent from Excel
session to
Excel session, so every time I open up a new excel, I have to redo
the
server settings
3) If I try to put a dataframe into the R session and name it with a
single-character name, I get an unhandled error in the VBA code; if
I try
to
name it with a number as the last character, and the second to last
character is not an underscore, I get a dialog box informing me
that the
name I've chosen is not a valid dataframe name.
I should mention that these problems are relatively minor, and even
if
these
problems aren't fixable, RExcel is still going to be incredibly
useful for
me; thanks so much for creating it.

This essentially works, but there is a small bug which still needs
to be
fixed.
Sometimes (especially immediately after Excel tries to connect to
such
an R
process)
Excel seems to hang.
Typing a few returns in the Emacs window ussualy helps.

Hi Scott,
Try to load the rcom package in the ESS terminal before
connecting from
EXCEL.

Greetings,
My preferred way of using R at the command line is through Emacs
with
the
ESS add-on. I would love to be able to use RExcel with ESS in the
same way
that it's possible to use RExcel with the usual Rgui. I
followed the
usual
installation instructions using ESS as my R terminal, and it
seemed to
install correctly. However, when within Excel I choose RExcel->R
Start,
rather than detecting my existing ESS terminal, it instead
starts a
brand
new Rgui terminal to connect to.
Has anyone else tried this? Anyone know how to get it working/
if it's
possible?
Thanks,
Scott
