Share the DDE program
In order to use network DDE with IGSS, the PC must be set up to share the DDE program, IGSS_DDE.
This can be done as follows:
· Use the DDE share program (select Start ® Run and then type DDESHARE).
To address IGSS_DDE on another PC, extend the addressing of IGSS_DDE to \\PC_NAME\IGSS_DDE, where PC_NAME is the name of the PC with IGSS_DDE running.
Network DDE and case-sensitivity
· The Network DDE converts all names to uppercase which means that it is only possible to address IGSS objects that have uppercase names.
· You can, however, disable the case-sensitivity by changing the setting for CaseSensitive from 1 to 0 in the Registry. The branch is named HKEY_CURRENT_USER\7-Technologies\IGSS32\V8.00.00\DDE_HKLM.
