Does anyone know where I can find the format of a .grp (group) file? I want my application to generate a new copy of itself (w/different configs) and I'd like that to be added to a group. Thanks for any pointers? Joe Herman dzoey@terminus.umd.edu P.S. I have an SDK, but I didn't see a reference to this.... -- "Everything is wonderful until you know something about it."

See page 22-19 of the Guide to Programming. Under section 22.4.4 (Dynamic Data Exchange -- Executing Commands in a Remote Application) is a section on "Program Manager DDE Command Set." The commands include CreateGroup, AddItem, DeleteGroup, ShowGroup and ExitProgram. -- Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com

Your program will have to except command line parameters in order for this to work. The Program Manager DDE command set is documented in chapter 22 pages 19-22 of the Guide to Programming. Its not exactly what you asked for but is probably the "correct" way of adding groups. ps Hello Joey. Brian Farmer brianf@umd5.umd.edu
