DDE - Excel XP

In Office XP, I am sending data from MSAccess to Excel, via DDE
commands and by using excel commands .CELLS(). Both ways are used in
the same procedure. On all machines it works except on a machine with
French Office XP. Commands of DDE for page setup works but not the
ones for sending data (DDEPOKE). I got the international characters
for Excel row and column. What could be the problem for DDEPOKE
command to fail ? I get the error 285, "The other application can't
perform the DDE function...."

Global exl_APP As excel.Applicati on

Set exl_APP = CreateObject("E xcel.applicatio n")
Set exl_WKB = exl_APP.Workboo ks.Add

exl_WKB.Workshe ets.Add ,
exl_WKB.Workshe ets(exl_WKB.Wor ksheets.Count)
Set exl_NEW_WKS = exl_WKB.Workshe ets(var_WKS_cou nter)

exl_WKS.Cells(v ar_rows_count, var_cols_count) .Value = arr_dataR(m,
i)

var_ORIG_data_W KS_name = exl_WKS.Name
var_CHNL_no = DDEInitiate("Ex cel", var_ORIG_data_W KS_name)

DDEExecute var_CHNL_no, "[page.setup(" & var_par_str & ")]"

'--------------------------- this command does not work
------------------------

var_EXL_R_char = "L"
var_EXL_C_char = "C"
var_EXCEL_addre ss = var_EXL_R_char & var_EXL_start_R &
var_EXL_C_char & var_EXL_start_C & ":" & var_EXL_R_char &
var_EXL_start_R & var_EXL_C_char & var_cols_count
DDEPoke var_CHNL_no, var_EXCEL_addre ss, var_EXCEL_data

There's a significant problem in automating Excel from VB .NET. Reminds me of a problem I encountered almost 3 years ago that was caused by the Norton Auntie Virus Office plug-in.

MSFT KB article 304661 gives a trivial example of early and late binding to Excel from VB .NET. Note that there is a variable naming...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
