texte = Did anybody try the DDE features [DDEConnect] and [DDESend] in webcat? I tried on our server, it did not work. I tried to use DDE to talk to MS word program:[DDEConnect program=WinWord&topic=System] [DDESend]topics[/DDESend] [/DDEConnect]This is a very basic DDE operation, the webcat couldn't make any connection to the application. Of course I loaded MS Word, and ensured the DDE capability. If I do the same test in MS Access to MS Word, everything works OK. So it seems to me that DDE feature in webcat is not working.2nd, in windows DDE, there are three important features: request, send and execute. Webcat actually has only one, that is send. I believe using send can replace request most of time. But the crucial feature execute is missing in webcat. Can we use [DDESend] to simulate DDEExecute feature? This is a really important one. If you have the DDEExecute, you can write macros and code to replace DDERequest and DDESend. Wonder why we don't have [DDEExec] fist instead of [DDESend]?
