Ddereg.exe? 1

[audiopro]

An application I wrote some 8 years ago, in VFP6 has been moved to another machine. The app. works fine except that it will not invoke a third party postcode program. It is asking for Ddereg.exe. I have this .exe on my VFP6 install but what does it do and can it be distributed?

Keith,

If I remember right, DDEREG.EXE was a program that was needed to make the old Foxtools library work. It needs to be copied to the same directory (on the user system) where you have FOXTOOLS.FLL. I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do that. You just need to copy that file, and your postcode lookup should work.

Thanks Mike, for the record it needed to be in windows/system32 but you hit the nail on the thumb.
