Rumba DDE connected but scripts are not working

Post by gimel22 » 01 Feb 2018, 14:10

Hello guys -

I got this AHK file which interacts with Rumba(AS400 terminal) from one of my colleague's machine(it was built by someone who left). I copied the scripts and ran the same in my machine... But it won't work.
It connects to "A.WSF" and displays the "DDE connection successful" message. But then when i run the sign-on script, nothing happens. I tried debugging using SCiTE4 (Script flows fine... but still not interacting with Rumba) :shock: :shock: :shock:

1) I tried downgrading to the same version in my colleague's machine.
2) Disabled UAC.
3) Right click and running in admin mode.
4) Reducing Rumba priority(desperate attempt :shh:)

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

It has been a month before I gave up and decided to cry for help... Could someone help me out :cry: :cry: ?

Cheers,
Gilly.

Let's guess the scripts environment (OS: XP/Vista - 32/64 bit) has changed since 'someone' has left the building?? Your last resort might be to run the script within a virtual machine?!
TBH, to dig into this would be less complicated if you'd provide that script ... :)

Sounds like something I wrote at Costco. I wrote alot of rumba / as400 apps when I worked there. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn if it's something you can't share over the internet. https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-messmer
