PRB: DDESpy Track Conversations Strings Window Empty

 Last reviewed: November 2, 1995
Article ID: Q88197
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.1
  • Microsoft Win32 SDK, versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In the DDESpy application, provided with version 3.1 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), DDE messages appear in the main window, while the Track Conversation Strings window remains empty.

CAUSE

Either the DDESpy application was started after the client and server applications, or neither application uses functions in the Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) to conduct DDE.

RESOLUTION

Start the DDESpy application before starting the client and server applications. Make sure that the client or the server (or both) uses the DDEML.
