[R-SIG-Finance] R GUI crashes with RBloomberg package

You _do_ have Bloomberg installed on your computer?
It should work then - does for me.

Subject: [R-SIG-Finance] R GUI crashes with RBloomberg package

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the RBloomberg package with R 2.3.1 installed on my
computer.

I load R Console, then type "library(RBloomberg)" and the application
correctly loads all the required libraries, in the order RDCOMClient,
zoo
and chron. I get a message saying "Contents of bbfields have been stored
in
.bbfields in the currenct workspace". It seems that all is working fine
:-)

The problem is that when I type "blpConnect()", R crashes and I have to
quit
the program with the classical Windows XP general error window.

What should I do in order to have the package working?

Thank you very much
