I am calling Wordperfect6.0 (for windows) from Forms 4 (MS windows) using
DDE commands: (I want to be able to start WP, and then call various macros)
DDE.App_Begin(AppId,"WPWIN60.EXE");
The first command works and Wordperfect is started, but SQL DDE
exceptions occur at the second line. Does anyone have some examples of
DDE syntax used between Forms and WP, or does anyone know where I could find
ConvId := DDE.Initiate("WPWIN60","COMMANDS",1000);
DDE.Execute(ConvId,"PlayMacroFile "Macro1"");
