Hi Gordon,


I a sure John Laing will answer this much better than me, but have you looked at this "solution":
http://grokbase.com/t/r/r-help/1279ge1zxs/r-problem-to-establish-bloomberg-connection-package-rbloomberg-function-blpconnect

I have the same settings that you but Java 1.6.0_26 & it is working fine on my side 

Best rgds,
Julien
