I use one DDE call to run a template in Word. It works in 4.03 but fails (nothing happens in 4.1). Could you test this please?

time=time() + 10 ;* Loop for 10 seconds

loop

hWord=FindWindow('OpusApp':\00\, '')
		until hWord or time() ] time repeat
		if hWord then
			unUsed=Set_Property(DDECtrl$,'DDESERVICE','WinWord')
			unUsed=Set_Property(DDECtrl$,'DDECOMMAND','FileOpen"' :repDocName: '"') ;* Open project template
		end else
			error=Failed to find Word window...'
