Hi Erik,

In my dde applications, (writing to a fax server), I used ddepoke statements to set everything up. I then used a ddeexecute statement to finish it.

Maybe it is the ddeexecute that you need.

>>>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
