asked on There was a problem sending the command to the program Error
Good Afternoon,
I have a user that is using MS Office 2010 on windows 7 Workstation. Currently when trying to open Word or Excel from time to time they get an error message that reads "There was a problem sending the command to the program".
So far I have check to see if (Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)) was unchecked located under (File/Options -> Advanced -> General ->) but it was already unchecked. I do notice that there are plugins being loaded when launching Excel or Word. Do you think this could be a problem?

I select my own reason because once I performed what I stated everting was ok.
I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst
