What DDE topic returns the currently open file?
I'd like to know that myself!
As a workaround I use "Selection" which returns something like "[myBook.xls]!R1C1" then I get the filename between the brackets Regards, Peter T "The Chemist" <The wrote in message ... I developed an application years ago that uses DDE to converse with Excel. I used to be able to send a DDE request using the topic "TOPICS", and it would return a string that contained the name of the spreadsheet file that was currently open. Now, this command returns an error with Excel 2003. Any ideas?? |
