V11.1.007 DDE and Librarian

[Henneman]

Have just started using the new ReportWorks version and love most of the enhancements. Having one problem, though....____The integration to DDE seems to be working fine within the Report Designer, but when I try to launch either DDE or the Librarian it doesn^t fire up... no sign-in screen comes up. I am able to find a process running in the background (datadict.exe or rl.exe) but no actual application.____Am running on a network/workstation installation with XP on the workstation and Win2000 on the server.

Did you do a workstation install from the server? That would place the required visual foxpro support files that are required for the DD and Report Librarian utilities on the local workstation.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____Yes, this was installation on the workstation from the server, I think everything was done and flowed pretty much as described in the install instructions. Everything else seems to be working fine, and I can access the DD from within R&R. However, just to be sure, I repeated the WS installation with no change in result.____What are the files or other settings I should be seeing on the local machine?

[Henneman]

Help anyone? Am still unable to get DDE and Librarian to work properly.

Can you use the result set browser from within the report designer? That is also a visual foxpro utility.____Kathleen__R&R Support

[Henneman]

Yes, the results browser seems to work okay.

That says that visual foxpro is working so I am puzzled why the dictionary editor and librarian do not display. Sorry.____Kathleen__R&R Support
