- righto! I found this out the hardway when trying to establish a link with
- wp4w 5.2. I talked to both companies and it is NOT a wp4w problem. The problem
- lies with qpro which is really not a very good dde or ole server.
- I had to convert the graph to bmp format through qpro and then go into wp4w
- and convert the bmp to wp format and insert this into the document.
- WHEW! Sorry but that is not acceptable with the dde and ole linking available.
- However, MS EXCELL works fine in this area from what I hear.
