Thanks Greg, the problem is I have no idea how to return and use what I have typed into the pop up. Add to that the complication that with this query
x<-sqlQuery(conn, "select to_char(lsd,'yyyy-mm') as yr,ttl_mo_prcp from mo_rains where stn_num=23090") if I put anything other than a number into stn_num=... then it does not run. eg if I just do sn=23090 and then use that in the query sqlQuery(conn, "select to_char(lsd,'yyyy-mm') as yr,ttl_mo_prcp from mo_rains where stn_num=sn") I get the following error. [1] "[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect" [2] "42S22 904 [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00904: \"SN\": invalid identifier\n" So my question is in two parts. Firstly, how do I return the number written in the popup, and then secondly how do I actually put it into the query?
