To connect to Microsoft SharePoint, you can use either a DSN or an ODBC connection string. Both of these methods use the odbcConnect function.

Connect to a DSN

To connect using a DSN:

cnx <- odbcConnect("CData SharePoint Sys")

Provide a Driver Connection String

To connect using an ODBC connection string:

cnx <- odbcDriverConnect(connection = "DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for Microsoft SharePoint};User=MyUserAccount;Password=MyPassword;Auth Scheme=NTLM;URL=http://sharepointserver/mysite;")
