Hi Ana, thanks for your reply.

1)
> cn <- blpConnect()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
rJava Version 0.8-4
RBloomberg Version 0.4-142
Java environment initialized successfully.
Looking for most recent blpapi3.jar file...
Error in blpConnect.Java("warning", NULL, TRUE, NULL) :
  Can't find C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI please confirm you have Bloomberg
Version 3 Java API installed. If it's in a different location, please report
this to RBloomberg package maintainer.
> cn <- blpConnect(blpapi.jar.file="c:\\Program
Files\\blp\\API\\blpapi3.jar")
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
rJava Version 0.8-4
RBloomberg Version 0.4-142
Java environment initialized successfully.
Error in .jnew("org/findata/blpwrapper/Connection", java.log.level) :
  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/findata/blpwrapper/Connection

2) The file exists in the path I use in blpConnect (C:\Program
Files\blp\API)
3) As in UPGR <GO> everything seems to be up to date:

.....

I'm still thinking it is an Rjava problem but got no idea how to get around
with it. Maybe it is a lack of permissions under my machine at work.
Any clues?

Thanks very much.

Nacho.
