title: Access data base import to R-installation of mdb tools on Mac
body: <p>The plan ist to import an Access database into R to filter out what I need to make statistical analysis. 
  A colleague suggested me the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>library(Hmisc)
  d &lt;- mdb.get('140410_db_vegBY1.mdb')
  #(data under #https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ra588lailweynrq/AACRVqMKWtd9Zz7fa94O9CAUa)
  
  # ERROR: sh: mdb-tables: command not found
  # Fehler in system(paste("mdb-tables -1", file), intern = TRUE) : 
  #  Fehler bei der Ausführung des Kommandos
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After my search I started to install mdb tools on my mac OS X 10.9.2 following this link:

  But it didn't work but the thread seems to be inactive.
  Can somebody help me?</p>
