DDE and ActiveX

[jmcpher]

First off, can I use DDE from an ActiveX control? Secondly, when I try to call DDEInitiate it just tells me that the "Sub or Function not defined." What and how do I include to make this go away?

Thanks

You can't use DDE together with OLE. John Fill

Is there any way that I can use DDE from a Web platform. All I need to do is have my one button control launch a program, wait for the user to exit said program, and get the information that they produced with said program.

Thanks

The DDE can't comunicate with OLE. You can make some separate functions what use DDE ant other what use OLE, and change data between them. John Fill

I'm not sure, but I think you missed my problem.

Let me start over.
I am trying to launch MS Query from a webpage, then get the SQL statement that it creates. As far as I know, I can't access MS Query through OLE, so I am forced to use DDE, which it does support. So far I can launch MS Query from my ActiveX control(impressive huh), but I can't get DDE to work. I've tried doing this same thing in a "Standard EXE" and I get the exact same errors(Sub or Function not defined when I call DDEInitiate).

Thanks
John

maybe you shoult include dde.h? I don't know exactly because I don't know DDE. John Fill
