DDE

The DDE settings affect the exchange of dynamic data.

Below are the DDE settings:

DDE Server - backwards compatible field encoding

As of version 7.0, field numbers are transferred to the DDE server using 5 digits by default. Virtual document fields start from 25050.

Enable this option to revert to the settings used in version 6.0: field numbers are transferred with 3 digits, and virtual document fields start at 950. This allows you to use interfaces defined for version 6.0 without needing to edit them. However, you cannot then use the functions provided by the dynamic data model.

Label Address Fields

When transferring field data using DDE transfer formats, field names are displayed in the language in which the format was defined, irrespective of the language in which Aurea CRM is running.

To display the names of fields in a label in a different language, enter the name of the address field in the desired language; for example "Addr" for English. Note that the numbers 0 to 9 are appended automatically.

Label Salutation

When transferring field data using DDE transfer formats, field names are displayed in the language in which the format was defined, irrespective of the language in which Aurea CRM is running.

To display the name of the form of address field in a different language, enter the name of the form of address field in the desired language; for example "Salutation" for English.

Microsoft Word (Office 97)

Enable this option if you are using Word for Office 97 with Aurea CRM's DDE functionality.
