Answers.Text: This is correct - the error message states that R cannot find the *object* 'Biobanque.csv', not that it cannot find the *file* 'Biobanque.csv' (which would give the error "No such file or directory").

  I have question regarding a project I have to do about a health student study. I cannot import the csv file via read.csv or read.csv2 despite having transformed all files to csv and being in the correct folder.
  Here are the command lines:
  
  ```
  setwd ("C:/Users/fek/Desktop/Analyse i-Share")
  getwd()
  TA<-read.csv2(file=Biobanque.csv, header=TRUE, sep=",", dec=",", fill=TRUE)
  
  ```
  
  And here are the results in the console window:
  
  ```
  setwd ("C:/Users/fek/Desktop/Analyse i-Share")
  
  getwd()
  
  ```
  
  [1] "C:/Users/fek/Desktop/Analyse i-Share"
  
  ```
  TA<-read.csv2(file=Biobanque.csv, header=TRUE, sep=",", dec=",", fill=TRUE)
  
  ```
  
  [1] Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, :
  objet 'Biobanque.csv' introuvable
  
  To translate from french, it says it can't find the file!

  The problem is just what it says. By omitting the quotes around "Biobanque.csv", R thinks you are talking about an **object whose name is Biobanque.csv**. And R is confused because of course you have not created an object by that name.
