DDE Library to Microsoft Excel and CVI

[muguerza]

Hello:

I've a LAB WINDOWS CVI 6.0 with WIN98 installed in my PC.

I have a matter when I run \dde\excel\ddemo.prj

When the execution arrives at instruction:
SetUpDDEHotLink(datalink,"R5C2",CF_TEXT,5000)

Here appears an error -25 (Transaction failed).

I have tested the same program in my collegue computer with WIN XP and LAB WINDOWS 7.0 and has the same conclusion.

The think is that I'm developing a similar programn and has the same matter that explain here.

Please, let me know the solution.

Best regards

Hello Muguerza

If you are using Spanish Excel you must replace the string "R5C2" (row column) by "L5C2" (spanish addressing)

Hope this helps
