Automating R script with Windows 7

Sounds like operating system troubles, not R troubles.

If you want help with invoking R, please take a deep breath, read the FAQs and the posting guide, and tell us exactly what you did at the command line if you still think R is the problem.

Note that any problems you may be having with the access permissions that your interactive or automatically-triggered environment is restricted by are almost impossible for us to remotely troubleshoot, and are not on-topic for this mailing list.

Thank you for your help

So i have tried many ways on different computers, but i believe i have an
operating system, as I  open RScript up in my local directory it just
flashes at me and them disappears

I tried to task schedule, using the following code

"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\i386\Rscript.exe"

but the Rscript just flashes at me

Thanks for ur assistance, its back to researching my problem

I did not suggest that you don't HAVE an operating system... simply that you don't know how to use yours.

However you accomplish starting programs automatically, you WILL need to specify both the R interpreter (which you do seem to be accomplishing) and the name of the script you wish to run (which you don't appear to be doing). Appropriate use of quoting may be necessary if you have spaces in your paths.

I would try first without the task scheduler:
Make a .bat file and run this from the command line.
This way you can see what is going on without the flashing window that is
opened and closed immeadiately.
