I am trying to use my reportsmith program as a server in a dde conversation.
I set the Ddeconv1.Ddeservice := 'c:\rs_run\rs_run';
and Ddeconv1.DdeTopic := 'File|Open(c:\medical\ledger.rpt)';
But nothing happens. when I try to set the above values using the object inspector, it sometimes opens rs_run.exe minimized and sometimes give a cannot connect error message.
what am I doing wrong? How do I establish the conversation, and topic correctly?
yomyom.
