Creating a DDE-link between MS Acces and an NS/Elite Display

[Andreas.KOPP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear all

I tried to use Microsoft Acces as DDE-Server but I failed. I could not
initiate a link between Access and an NS/Elite Display.
Maybe someone here has any experience?!

To establish a link e.g to Excel I do it this way:

Dim intChan1 as integer                  'the channel to be opened
intChan1 = DDEInitiate("Excel", "Mappe1")     'open the link to "Mappe1"
DDETerminate intChan1              'close the line


I can't open a link to the NS/Elite Display because I don't now how name
the display (i.e. how to write the DDEInitiate command). Here are my
settings in NS/Elite (Version 3.12):

Workspace in NS/Administrator            Phoenix
AS/400 Display name                BPCS Production

when the session is open the window title is "Phoenix.BPCS Production -
NS/Elite Display"
The HLLAPI Name is "A" (in the session properties)


I hope someone can help me.

Best Regards
A.Kopp
