When I run a macro that uses RExcel, I get a dialog box that says 
"Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE 
action."

There is no error in the RExcel commands in the macro, of that I am sure. 
The box appears to be related to the inclusion of RunRFile commands.

The macro will run through the second RunRFile command, but will not 
execute the Worksheet.Pictures.Insert statements or the GetArray 
statements until
the user clicks OK on the dialog box.

Any insight into how I can avoid the dialog box would be appreciated.

The macro is below. It's your basic, send-to-R, run R, retrieve-from-R 
macro.
