Correct syntax for use Replace command via DDE?
 

Hi.
I am trying to run the Find/Replace command in Excel remotely via DDE.
What is the correct syntax for doing this?

I have tried this:

[Cells.Replace What:="@what", Replacement:="@with", LookAt:=xlPart,
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False]

but with no luck.
Is there a list of correct syntaxes for Excel VBA-commands run via DDE
anywhere? I have searched on the web without finding anything.

Hi,
I think you'll need to place Excel.Application.Workbook
("YourWork.xls").ActiveSheet.Cells.Replace (What:="@what",
Replacement:="@with", LookAt:=xlPart,
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False)

Hope this helps
regards
KM

PS I'm still looking for a proper solution but I think
that the the way you juat call Cells.Replace .... the
application does not know what to do to what sheet in what
workbook

Hi KM!
Still can't get it to work. I have also tried different variations of your
example, but without luck.
Do you have an example that is confirmed to be working?

Hi Bjørn

I've looked at the help in Excel and it indiactes that the
Replace is a worksheet function so I think you may have to
use Application.WorksheetFunction.Replace

I don't have an example because I've never needed to
Replace via DDE but I would expect the principle to be the
same.

Best of luck
KM

Here is the equivalent function in Word, that I have gotten working:
[EditReplace .Find="@what", .Replace="@with", .WholeWord=0, .MatchCase=0,
..Format=0, .ReplaceAll=1]

How to get this to work in Excel?
