<QUOTE>
I am trying to use DDE to interface an OI application with a third party product which is designed to act as a DDE server to copy data to the OI application while both are running. Most aspects are fine, but I am having a problem in one area.



In the third party product, records are dragged and dropped onto a button representing the OI application. If I know that this has occurred, I can then access this record for the information that I need. My problem is that this drag and drop is not firing the DDEADVISE event for the DDE link control in the OI application, and I know of no other way to be notified that the action has occurred. I have tried all possible DDELINK settings (AUTO, HOT, WARM and COLD/OFF) without result.



If anybody out there can help with this, I would be very grateful.
