<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to drive an Excel spreadsheet from an external application (Mercury Interactive's WinRunner). I have a dll which implements the dde_execute function, which allows me to perform operations like <br />
Execute(&quot;Excel&quot;, &quot;system&quot;, &quot;[OPEN(&quot;default.xls&quot;)]&quot;);<br />
Execute(&quot;Excel&quot;, &quot;system&quot;, &quot;[SAVE]&quot;);<br />
Execute(&quot;Excel&quot;, &quot;system&quot;, &quot;[QUIT]&quot;);<br />
etc.<br />
<br />
I am trying to find out the valid system and sheet topics (i.e. the [QUIT], [SAVE] bits). I have been mostly guessing until now. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can get hold of this info? Preferrably free on the net somewhere!<br />
<br />
Thanks
