haver
Hi Amit, While Haver does provide a lot of financial data, this question is really more suited for R-help. You will be much more likely to receive a response in that forum, since many more people follow it. Best, -- Joshua Ulrich ?| ?FOSS Trading: www.fosstrading.com

Hi
?Has anyone downloaded Haver data into R.
I am an R newbie, so please forgive any stupid questions.
This is what i did so far :
I was able to download data from Haver using an existing dll in Visual Basic(Excel).
For e.g. I declared functions such as
Private Declare Function DLXOpenDatabase Lib "DLXAPI32" (ByVal DBName$) As Long
And then used them as
k = DLXOpenDatabase("W:/DLX/USECON")
MsgBox (k)
Gives me '0' showing connection established
Now I am trying to migrate this code to R and was wondering what is the easiest way to call an external dll in R.
During my research I found this link
http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/compilingDLLs/existingDLL.html
But it seems to be old with expired links to further help pages.
Can any one guide me on how best to connect to external dll's from R and if there is any easier way than writing a new wrapper dll?
Best,
Amit
