Dear lists, It seems that RODBC has a problem : when reading through ODBC from an Access table with missing values, *character* missing values are (correctly) reported as NA factor values. *Numeric* values, however, retain the value of the same variable in the previous row. My setup : R 1.1.1 under Win95, RODBC as compiled with the R Win CRAN distribution, MS Access 97. I just discovered this, and had no time to explore. I will try to debug this, but my knowledge of the ODBC internals and gizzards being almost non-existent, any clue from you would help me tremendously. Is there a formal mechanism for bug reports ? If so, should I submit one ?

Well, there's a slot for "add-ons" in the R bug repository, and that's where we put reports that pertain to packages. However, the core group does not take responsibility for fixing packages, and there's no way of ensuring that package-writers even scan the repository for "their" bugs. So a safer way would seem to be to contact the author directly. That'll be Michael Lapsley <mlapsley@sthelier.sghms.ac.uk> according to the CRAN entry.
