sorry, I don't know how to get those specific commands to work for you. But I just wanted you to be aware that they've apparently crimped fox 2.6 so that it would get worse and worse as time goes on. Each time you upgrade the operating system and each time you get a faster machine it will just get worse. They told us years ago it would begin to fail at 150 mhz and that it would get progressively worse with faster machines until it would be completely dysfunctional.

I've found that microsoft's dire warnings about fox 2.6 apps failing like this with fast machines and new operating systems have been false. We just have had to find different means of accomplishing the same thing when a problem occurs. So, you probably have to find different ways of accomplishing whatever it is that the DDE commands were doing. Then it will work ... ... for a while.

I have heard that some fox 2.6 apps are working OK on very fast machines with the new operating systems. We don't know when this big failure microsoft told us about will really occur.
