DDE is pretty much gone the dinausor way. Why not use OLE automation?

>I want to initiate a conversion between 2 applications using DDE . I need to transfer some data using DDEPoke and DDEAdvise functions and I don't know what is the item field in a Foxpro appilcation ( for example in "help" I have found reference to Excel - a possible item is R1C1 , Ok , but how can I get the list of items available in Foxpro?)

>There is something in help on DDESetService() function , but is unclear (service: "Foxpro" , Topic: "System" ) ...OK , but when I tried to send data with DDEPoke I got error no. 25 ....
