RE: DDE

Sir,

 

I agree, but cannot find any information on using DDE either.

For example, we use a Genero front-end to a 3rd party database.  

 

We have literally thousands of entries to make, all calculated in a
spreadsheet; however there is no way we can find to automate and upload
those entries one-at-a-time into Genero - so we enter them by hand. I
cannot use an SQL upload command because of triggers and processes
within the database.

 

I have also tried to use Windows Scripts, but apparently they cannot
grab Genero, either - it does not see it as an object.

 

Please let me know if you discover anything.

 

Thank you

Subject: [fourjs-users] DDE

 

Hello,

 

Since we intend to combine Windows-Office-products

(esp. Excel and Word) with FourJs over DDE much more,

I was looking for documentation - but there is hardly any.

 

What we already have are several basic commands

and some basic examples (open Excel/Word,

poke/peek some data or call a macro),

but it is a lot of work to find out functions in detail.

I cannot imagine that every FourJs - programmer

has to work that out for himself.

 

Why is there no better detailed explanation for DDE ? 

We think that we and every other developer

could do a lot more with it in such a way as to enable us/them

to meet the growing demands of our customers.

 

We think DDE is a big plus for FourJs/Genero.   

Why not use it better ?

 

We would be pleased if anyone helps us,

thanks in advance
