#DDE System Topic Call
VB Prog Guide alleges on p355 that a DDE call to a topic named "System" in
a well behaved Windows app will return info from that app on topics it
supports, data formats, etc.
I've tried using X.LinkTopic = "Winword|System" but get only error 285
(foreign app won't perform method) in response. Has anyone figured this one
out? Sample code will be appreciated.
I've checked VB, Word, and Word Tech Ref manuals. Also tried the MSKB, but
have found no examples. Speaking of the MSKB, their DDE examples use "]"
instead of the "|" shown in the VB manuals. When I try "]" I get error 380
(invalid propery value). What gives?
Thanks.
