Need help on DDE

[Ams]

&nbsp;&nbsp;I am using Foxpro 2.5 for windows on Win95. I cannot Initiate DDE. The example of Excel in the help, works fine, but till date, I have not been able to DDE any other applications.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;DDELastError returns 16 (unable to link ).<br>

Glad to see someone else has the same problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought it was me being hard headed, or a plot by MicroSoft to only let DDE work with other MicroSoft Products.<br><br> <p>David W. Grewe<br><a href=mailtoave@internationalbid.net>Dave@internationalbid.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I've always been able to get DDE to other MS Office programs to work as long as the versions were the same.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have here of cases where someone had WinWord installed and then purchased MS Office .&nbsp;&nbsp;On the install they did not select Word to be installed because it was already on the system. <br><br>WRONG,&nbsp;&nbsp;They had many problems,. They finally had to remove Word and Office and then reinstall. After that it worked as required. <br><br>Keeping that in mind you might have a bad / out dated / newer version of a DLL on your computer that Fox/Word is looking for.<br><br>If reinstalling Fox and MSoffice des not work, Post the code you are using so we can see what you are trying to do.<br> <p>David W.
