Problem with getting values from Kitchen Draw.

[B.S.A. Computer]

Hi ,

We as being B.S.A. Computer Programming & Devolopment using VB to make
makros for the Kitchen Draw programs.For more www.kitchendraw.com and
www.bsabilgi.com.tr.

We have problem with gettin values from Kitchen Draw[ KD ]. When we try to
get value from KD to Office Word we get error : "Runtime Error '438' Object
does'nt support this property or method " and in the debug screen it says :
Private Sub TmpDDE()
WordBasic.Call "WD_ScreenUpdatingOn"
End Sub

We get this error Office Word 2003 and above. It works Office Word 2000 and
below.

We discus this problem with the KD devolopers they say that it works for all
Office Word products and all languages except Turkish.

This is very important for us and we had to solve this as soon as possible.
Thanks from now.

I assume that the WordBasic.Call "WD_ScreenUpdatingOn" is calling a routine
"WD_ScreenUpdatingOn"

I do not recall whether in Word.Basic the routine being called needed to be
enclosed in quotes, but in later versions of Word, you would just use:

Call WD_ScreenUpdatingOn

There could also be something in that routine that is causing the problem.

To control screen updating, you would use

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

or

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Hope this helps.
