DDE Paradox to Peachtree

[MLHeyd]

The foloowing code sucessfull esecutes a dde poke from paradox v9 to Peachtree Complete Acctg v7. (I doubt that the dde syntax has changed in later versions.)

My problem is that when I activate the password feature in Peachtree, of course the dde poke no longer works. Does anyone know the syntax of poking the password.

If ddeLink.open("peachw","incspec&quot then
ddeLink.setItem("File=General,Field=StartDate&quot tmp1=ddeLink ddeLink.setItem("File=General,Field=EndDate&quot tmp2=ddeLink
StartDate=date(tmp1)
EndDate=date(tmp2)
ddeLink.setItem("File=SALESJOURNAL,CLEAR,FIELD=DATE&quot
ddeLink =InvDate
ddeLink.setItem("File=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=CUSTOMER&quot
ddeLink = CustNum
ddeLink.setItem("FILE=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=INVOICE&quot
ddeLink = InvNum
ddeLink.setItem("FILE=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=DATEDUE&quot
ddeLink =DatDue
ddeLink.setItem("FILE=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=firstdistribution&quot
ddeLink = (AcctNum + " \t" + SubTot +" \t"+" \t" +"\t"+TotDescrip+" \t"+" \t"+TaxType+" \t&quot
;ddeLink.setItem("FILE=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=nextdistribution&quot
;ddelink = ("21025" + " \t"+ SalesX +" \t" +" \t"+ " \t" +SalesXDescrip+" \t" +" \t"+" \t"+" \t" )
ddeLink.setItem("FILE=SALESJOURNAL,FIELD=nextdistribution,SAVE&quot
ddelink = ("40350"+ " \t"+ BillFreight+" \t" +" \t"+ " \t" +"Billable Freight"+" \t" +" \t"+"4"+"\t&quot
ddeLink.close()


Any help greatly appreciated.
