Hi Erik,

>I have found syntax that looks good (doesn't cause errors, gets the proper return codes from Peachtree), but doesn't seem to work.

I usually test the response from each ddepoke statement. for example:


D = DDEPOKE(ddechan,"generaljournal","date")

IF NOT D
=messagebox('Sending date info to journal not working', 16)
return
ENDIF

At least I can see which line is not working.

I would be surprised that output from vfp date() function would be compatible with peachtree.

Also, I found that double quotes worked better than single quotes. No idea why.

Good luck,

Paul de Niverville

>After running this code, no errors come up, but the entries simply don't appear in Peachtree. I guess that this really crosses the line from a VFP issue, to a Peachtree issue, but I was hoping someone could help anyway. Can anybody sees what I might be doing wrong? TIA
