I have an .R code file to pull the data from a database, manipulate and filter it, and create individual data frames for each test. My Sweave .RNW document then calls that file with source() to generate the data for the report. The .R file works fine on its own, but when I run it from within the Sweave document I get the following error message:

No, it's a pretty standard evaluation environment.  However,  it may be 
running R without some functions that exist in your workspace when you 
source the script within an R session.  It's also possible (but doesn't 
seem likely) that RStudio is causing some problems; you could try 
running "R CMD Sweave yourdoc.Rnw" from the command line, outside of 
Rstudio, to see if that makes a difference.
