Ty, I've dug this very old copy of a DDE.ini file out of my archives...see if it's any good to you... The only differences I can see is the order of the lines in the file and the 'Command1' paramter:
[WRITE] Application = WRITE Path = C:\WINDOWS\WRITE.EXE Topic = System Format = TAB XFRDATA = Clipboard Command1 = [Editpaste] [Excel] Application = Excel Path =c:\Program files\microsoft office\Office\Excel.exe Topic = system Format = TAB XFRDATA = Clipboard Command1 = [NEW(1)][PASTE()] [WINWORD] Application = WINWORD Path =c:\Progra~1\micros~2\Office\WINWORD.exe Topic = New Format = TAB XFRDATA= Clipboard Command1 = [FileNew .Template = "Normal", .NewTemplate = 0] Command2=[Editpaste] HTH Chris. > Thanks Chris - I put the ] in, however, still getting the same error. > > Ty > > > Chris Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > >> Tyrone, >> Make sure you've got a closing square bracket around the > first "excelrecord" tag: >> >> [excelrecord] >> Path=c:\excel\excel.exe >> Application=excel >> Topic=system >> Format=TAB >> ... >> >> HTH >> Chris. >> >> > I copied and pasted the example from the help file for DDE.INI.
