THE COMMAND TO RUN WINDOWS PROGRAM IN WIN3.1 USED TO BE:
RUN /N c:\excel\excel.exe c:\foxprow\sample\dde\example.xls

*** THE ABOVE WAS TAKEN FROM THE FPW26\SAMPLES\DDE\DDEXCEL.SCX ***

NOW WHEN I ISSUE
run /N C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\EXCEL.EXE c:\foxprow\sample\dde\example.xls

IN WIN98 OR WINNT WORKSTATION I RECEIVED A

RUN/! COMMAND FAILED

IF EXCEL IS ALREADY RUNNING THE DDE WORKS FINE. IT JUST WON'T START EXCEL ANYMORE.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
