Subject: R as COM client (rather than server)

It can be done.
But it is still in development and therefore not on CRAN.
There is a library rcom which does exactly what you are asking for.
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/
always has the latest version of the R COM package,
currently including the package for R as a client also.
There is a special mailing list for questions
related to R and (D)COM
you can subscribe to it at
