Hi,

I have two vb applications that uses the old DDE technology on
Windows
Server 2000. I must promote to Windows Server 2003. I have the same
configurations that the WS2000 (Network DDE services etc.)


I have this error when the applications try to connect (by DDE
technology):
Run-time Error '282':
No foreign application responded to a DDE initiate


I try to start three services (Network DDE, Network DDE DSDM and
ClipBook).
I try to stop services and set Startup type to Manual.
I try change the link topic properties (corresponding with this
article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/203980/en-us )


I have always the error message.


Does DDE protocol is supported with W2K3 ?


I know that this technology is bad, very bad, but I have no choice to
keep this technology.


Do you have a solution ?


Thanks


Sly

Services that are turned off by default in Windows Server 2003

Put the needed services to automatic and start them.

The KB you gave and your error match.
Looks like you have to update this application to works on Windows 2003.
