Paradox 10 DDE and word 2007 on Vista

#1

I recently ported an older stable database application paradox 10
runtime to 4 new Vista small business machines. Everything almost
worked fine with a speed exceeding my expectations.
However

ddevar.open("WINWORD", destFile)
ddevar.execute("[ToolsMacro .Name = \"myfont\", .Run, .Show = 0]")

autoexec.bat
PATH C:\;C:\MSOFFICE\OFFICE12 which is where word2007 is
(winword.exe)

This works great on the older XP SP2 machines running word 2003 but
not on Vista running 2007.

Google and micorsoft searches == 0.

I have an extensive library of macros that work very nicely in the XP/
word2003 but not with Vista/word2007. The macros imported and work
from within Word 2007 like they are supposed to.

FYI putting the net dir on something that is not Vista will save you
alot of time unconfiguring the security to allow it to work
correctly.

paradox community searches is gonna equal zero, too.. you'll get a few
suggestions, and maybe even a solution, but 99% of us won't touch Vista,
because your problem is just one example of the many problems various
long-time developers are having.. with no consensus solutions yet..

I think that /all/ of the fileserver-based database systems are "scratching
their heads" at Vista.

Well do I remember that Windows-XP wasn't worth a tinker's-dam either until
SP2, and I predict that Vista will be much the same. I think they
succumbed to pressure to get SOMETHING out, shot a bunch of flaming arrows
into the air, and a whole lot of those arrows simply missed.
