Instead of dialling, it brings up the windows dialog box to let me run the ddereg.exe prog in the Windows\System folder. If I let it do that, it then complains that it can't load the 'ddeml.app'.

Harry, I fully agree with Geoerge's response. Use the code he posted in the files section for this. The dialer function is DDEReg is a leftover from Win3.1, and the reason you have to use Foxtools' RegFn on it, is because VFP isn't even designed to run 16 bit windows functions. I posted the code because it was the only tool in my box that would do it, and nobody else had offered up, but George has provided the right tool for the job.
