Thanks Mat,
 
I have done and reloaded the package, output below:
 
local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))

+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})

Loading required package: RDCOMClient

Loading required package: chron

Contents of bbfields have been stored in .bbfields in the current
workspace

Warning message:

package 'RDCOMClient' was built under R version 2.9.1 and help will not
work correctly

Please re-install it 

 

I will follow Brian's advice that the message is only a warning. Thanks
again for everyone's valuable input. I'll keep my eye out for the newer
RBloomberg package when its released.

 

Eduard

	Eduard,
	
	I believe the message is likely a WARNING, not a stop error, and
is just warning you that things *may* not work properly, mostly help
files, iirc.
	
	When reporting errors, please copy the entire error into your
email as a general policy.  There is usually quite a lot of information
contained in the error (or sequence of errors) if you pay close
attention.
	
	Also, Ana has previously posted to the list that RBloomberg is
being moved off the RDCOMClient and posted details of the new version.
Perhaps you should look in the archives and try the newer version of the
code.
	
	Regards,
	
	  - Brian
