Combining DDE Expressions
I use GoldMine's (CRM Software) link with Microsoft Word to merge documents.
GoldMine uses DDE to feed data from its database to Word. Here's an example of a GoldMine DDE command that I can plug in to MS Word: {DDEAUTO GoldMine Data CONTACT2-UACCTMGR \*CHARFORMAT}. At the same time, I use some of Word's own merge commands to insert images as a dynamic link. Here's an example: {INCLUDEPICTURE "../../../Sigs/ADEMAR.BMP" \* MERGEFORMAT \d} In this case, I'm merging a picture called "ADEMAR.BMP". What I need to accomplish is have the picture file name be dynamic. I need the filename to be feed through to Word from GoldMine's DDE command shown above. I tried nesting GoldMine's DDE command into Word's DDE command but it didn't work. It seems that Word is using whatever GoldMine feeds at the time I inserted the DDE command and saved the document as a template. Therefore, it always links the picture that was used when I first created/saved the template. I have successfully combined GoldMine's DDE Commands with Word's DDE Commands in the past but I have not had any luck with this one. I've tried several variations of the following: {INCLUDEPICTURE "../../../Sigs/{DDEAUTO GoldMine Data CONTACT2-UACCTMGR \*CHARFORMAT}.BMP" \* MERGEFORMAT \d} Any ideas? Thanks! Ademar. |
