------------------------------------------^^^
Syntax Error: Either use Rule, -> , or RuleDelayed, :>, but not any 
mixture of both!

The following works fine on my system:

In[1]:= InputField[Dynamic[R0, Initialization -> (R0 = 123)]]

Out[1]= \!\(\*
InputFieldBox[Dynamic[$CellContext`R0, Initialization -> 123]]\)

In[2]:= $Version

Out[2]= "6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (June 19, 2007)"

You can get the notebook as well as a pdf file at
