Access Run-time error '282'

Can not understand why I am getting this error. I am
transfering data from a access program to a credit card
processing program.

Run-time error '282'
"Can't find the specified application and topic because
it cant open a DDE channel"

Does anybody have any information that would help me
resolve this isssue?

DDE is an abbreviation of Dynamic Data Exchange which is
the established protocol for exchanging data between
Microsoft Windows-based programs.

Clearly, Access and your credit-card processing program
are not talking to each other. The problem is to find why
they are not talking to each other ...

However, few things you can check:

1. Can the credit-card processing program (CCPP) handles
DDE requests?

2. How do you "transfer" the data from Access to CCPP?

3. Can the CCPP use linked Tables?

....

Check Access Help on DDE and see if you trace the problem.
