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