Save an experiment using DDE and DasyLab 9.0

[jbazaar]

I am using DasyLab 9.0 and am using MS Access VBA DDE to set up the experiment's global variables and global strings from values contained in the Access database. I can start DasyLab, load the experiment file, update the variables, start and stop the experiment. I don't know how to save the experiment with the updated variables from within Access VBA. Is there a DDE "Save" command in DasyLab which can be executed from Access VBA?

In the Help, under General Notes about DDE, it lists

There are 4 additional DDE items to manipulate global strings or variables using DDE:

SetString, GetString, SetVariable, GetVariable, GetData, and SetData.

So, yes, you can use VBA to get a String or Variable.

You can also use the DDE Write or the ODBC write modules to sent data to your Access program.

Thanks CJ but I am trying to use VBA to tell Dasylab to save the experiment file. That way our technicians won't accidentally use incorrect parameters when they run the next test.

I don't think that we considered that option, so, it doesn't exist.

Rats! Do you know of any possible work-arounds? Besides manual saves, that is.
