Thanks Jim,

Alas, it wasn't this.  Here is the output from both of your suggestions:

refdata18 = read.csv("K:\\MerchantData\\RiskModel\\Capture.Week.18.csv",
header = TRUE,na.strings="")
str(refdata18)
'data.frame':   341 obs. of  1 variable:
 $ X0: int  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
Ummm, is there a header line or not? If there isn't, read.csv is going to eat the first observation thinking it is a name (and since it is non-syntactic add an X in front).

The scan command looks fine, you just should have assigned it somewhere, x <- scan(......) and then fitdistr(x, ....)

scan("K:\\MerchantData\\RiskModel\\Capture.Week.18.csv", what=0L)
