You might look at the update information about ddespy, and see if you can identify the root of the problem. If you do, let us know. Perhaps others are having the problem from the same root cause.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064940477304259506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18276558.post-29686656757050254442009-04-16T08:07:00.000-05:002009-04-16T08:07:00.000-05:00Like many others here I've used the method of unch...Like many others here I've used the method of unchecking the "Use DDE" box and amending the "Application used to perform" line, and it has worked, but every time Microsoft throw any updates at me the fix is nullified.
