<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am attempting to acquire the 2012-2016 ACS data and the scripts I’ve created to download previous ACS datasets are not working. I ran these against the 2016, 1-year data back in September, and they worked fine. However, now they error
out on both the 1-year and 5-year 2016 datasets. On a simple lookup, I get the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b><i>acs.lookup(table.number="B01001", span=5, endyear=2016)<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Error in data.frame(variable.code = names, table.number = table.numbers, :

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, if I include the keyword attribute as follows, it works just fine:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b><i>acs.lookup(endyear=2016, span=5, table.number="B01001", keyword="Female")<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Also, changing the endyear attribute to 2015, for example, works just fine. Any thoughts on what may be going on?<o:p></o:p></p>
