Sergey, Sorry I missed your post earlier. I had this same problem and I reinstalled the DDE Server and Excel Add-In, rebooted and it fixed it. I thought they were already installed as I could pull down data in Excel from Bloomberg, but reinstalling them fixed my R problem. You can find the downloads at http://about.bloomberg.com/contact_softwaresupport_upgr.html
Good luck.
