Title:
OLE Server vs. DDE in Vusual Foxpro 5.0
I need to have 3 different Win95 programs communicating with each other. One , the server program will read
and write changes to a central database. When a change is made it needs to inform the other programs that a change has been made.
I've been experimenting with a Foxpro program (configured as a OLE Server) as the central server.
Unfortunately, the instance of the server object created in the client program knows nothing about the other clients server object so it can't "broadcast" the neccesary changes. Is DDE the appropriate solution for this problem.
What is the future of DDE anyway. I was under the impression that is was being replaced by OLE.
Thanks in advance ..
