Hi
I have been given an old application to fix in Access 97 that works fine under Windows 95. Under Windows XP it fails. The issue is with the DDEExecute command. It appears that left and right parenthesis are not been sent to the external application that is expecting them.
I need to know how to send a left and right parenthesis () within a string. I cannot make it work, please help!!!
With the strings below the parenthesis do not transfer, no matter where they occur within the string.
DDEExecute chan,"()” this returns nothing
DDEExecute chan,"Hello World(” this left parenthesis does not transfer
DDEExecute chan,"(Hello World)” this left and right parenthesis do not transfer.
Thank you
