DDE debug console logging

  • I found a post in here about how to enable the debug console and such:

Client_Clock=1

Debug_console=1

Debug_Outfile=[directory]\notesdebug.txt

so I put this in the client. I have weirdo delays that I’d like to figure out.

  • This is all well and good. It does load a console and tons of stuff fly across it, and it does log that console to the indicated file.

  • It also pops a secondconsole when I load DDE, for “notes2”. That wasn’t desired, and it makes an already painfully slow DDE come to less than a crawl. But I should have anticipated it would do this, since it’s sharing notes.ini with the client. So far, okay.

  • BUT the log file does not contain anything from the DDE console window. This is truly unfortunate, as DDE threw an exception on close and I’ve no idea what happened - the stack trace appeared and the console vanished. It also logged some other errors that flew by uncaptured. This is not expected, since it is sharing notes.ini with the client.

  • How does one get it to log the DDE console?

Thanks for your time…
