App_ID := DDE.App_Begin('c:\office\wpwin.exe c:\tst.wpd',DDE.App_Mode_Normal);
With this command you Start the application and give as a parameter the
document to open.
1) Now you can ask the user with a text-item the Path/Document to open
and:
App_ID := DDE.App_Begin('c:\office\wpwin.exe '||:Doc_item,DDE.App_Mode_Normal);
2) or open the document on started application
Can_Id := DDE.initiate('WordPerfect', 'System'); DDE.DDE_Execute('[Open "'||:Doc_Item||'"], 5000);
in this case you could set the TIME-OUT-limit, so on a slow computer you don't have the possible Time-Out-Error. (In first case you could not set this limit, so the possibility of time-out are greater)
Hope this helps!
