Using the textpad as a DDE server
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2001 2:40 pm
Hi all,
I was trying to use an existing instance of TP as a DDE server. My idea was to open/close files from MS-Access VB-code, but it doesn't seem to work.
What is exactly the name of the server/topic ?? Is it "Textpad"/"system", or something else?
When I call the VBA DDEInitiate("TextPad", "system"), the chanel number is always 0, indicating some error....
Any idea how to solve this?
(PS: Using TP 4.4.2 under NT4)
TIA,
Eduardo
