Question:
Error Message- Unable To Establish DDE Connection In Data
Exchange
Answer:
This error happens because Reporting to the MAX is installed
too deep into directories (folders). An example of Cougar
Mountain installed too deep is where the location of the Cougar
Mountain program is M:\ACCT\COUGAR\CMSWIN\CMSMAIN.EXE. (to see
what the path is, right click on the Reporting to the MAX shortcut
and choose Properties. Look at the filed, Target.).
Solution:
Reporting to the MAX would need to be reinstalled to a directory
closer to the root of the local disk (C:). Using the same
example, the proper path in this example would be M:\CMSWIN\CMSMAIN.EXE.
