Opening fmb (11g) - problem sending the command
Hello everyone,
I have installed Forms Builder 11g (11.1.2.0.0) on my Windows 7 32-bit machine.
My problem is: when double-clicking the .fmb file (without opening the Forms builder first) the Forms Builder opens but I receive the error "there was a problem sending the command to the program" and the form does not get loaded. The second time I double-click the .fmb file it gets loaded because I already have the builder opened.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks in advance.
Do you get the message if you open Firefox from the Start Menu or other shortcut?
Do you get the message if Firefox is already running when you click on this shortcut?

ken yanowHi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

Excel won't open and error message There was a problem sending the command to the programe
Hi there
I'd be grateful for your help.
I've just bought a new laptop and installed Office 2013. I used Excel 2013, did what I needed to do and saved it. This was 5 days ago.
Today, I've tried opening the file from my desktop and get the error message 'There was a problem sending the command to the program'.
And when I try to open Excel to do the DDE fix, which seems to be the best suggestion, I can't open Excel at all. I've tried to get into it from the Apps screen.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
ThanksDon't seem like this can be fixed so I went back to version 6.0.2 which works good.
I have Chrome now as my default browser and will not use fire fox until they fix it!
Chrome works great! -
A box with this error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program" always pops up upon clicking any URL sitting in my desktop (or from any other folder). It will not happen if Firefox is already open. However, it is only an annoyance as the page fully opens with no problem.
It started after I downloaded Firefox 4 beta ver 12. It continued after upgraded with RC1. It did not happen in my latest version of Firefox 3.6.x which I removed after installing 4 RC1This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

There was a problem sending the command to the program when opening Microsoft Project 2010 files
When opening MS Project 2010 files from the file and print server, I receive "There was a problem sending the command to the program." Copy the same file to my local drive and the file opens fine. This can be repeated by several other
users. Created a simple project file and once the size hit 1 MB, the error appeared. The error appears on all files over 1 MB.
I am a domain admin, so it is not a rights issue. This does not seem to be a network latency issue, the file copies extremely fast.
Any ideas?This message appears to be caused by Windows Explorer trying to send old-fashioned DDE messages to the Application.
Since MS Project has no "Ignore DDE messages" setting you might want to go change the compatibility settings for WinProj.EXE (and any shortcut to it) to Windows 7 or greater. Hopefully then Windows Explorer will stop trying to send DDE messages.
Another possible culprit is older versions of the WinZip explorer extensions - I would disable them as well.
Good luck,
James.

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

Word2007 in windows 7 -There was a problem sending the command to the program!
I just bought my new HP laptop with windows 7 Home premier edition, and then I installed windows office 2007 suite. It's ok if I only open the word without any existing word file. But if I open word with a word file, it says " there was a problem sending
the command to the program". I try this action under safe mode, it's no problem, I can open an existing word file. If I open the winword.exe and use menu "file-open" to open a word file, it's alright. But If I double click a word file, it shows that error.
I tried to change the registry information according to the solution on internet, but it doesn't work. I checked the compatibility mode, it says run in "windows XP sp3", and it is grey, I can't uncheck it.
Anyone got any idea to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, This sounds like a problem with the file associations in Windows.. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let
me know.
The first thing to check is to make sure that the file extensions are correctly associated with Word.
1.
Click Start > type or copy following command to the Search box
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" /unregserver
2.
You should then, immediately, use the following command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe" /regserver
Re-associate the Word file manually:
Please go to
Start \Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations.
Locate the files .doc, .docm,.docx, .dot, .dotm, check if there are associated with
Microsoft Word. If not, highlight the file and click the
Change Program button. Choose Microsoft Word from the list. If you are unable to see Microsoft Word from the list, click the
Browse button. Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12, and choose
WINWORD.EXE.
Click
OK to save the settings.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Hope that helps.
Sincerely
William Zhou CHN

Since the upgrade, the icon does not work. Now this message comes up. I made Google my home page by following directions on this site. I deleted the old icon as it didnt work, and this new one came up on my desktop and it presented the message above.
Hi,
Before you open any of the applications, please go to Task Manager to see if their processes are stuck there. If so, shut them down and try again.
You can also try starting the applications in Safe Mode to determine if the problem is 3rd-party add-ins related.
Please refer to this article below to learn more:

As for the Excel problem 'There was a problem sending the command to the program', please note when double-clicking an Excel workbook, a
dynamic data exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the workbook that you double-clicked. If you
turn on the "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“ setting,
the DDE message sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored, and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked.
To automatically solve this issue , we recommend to run “Microsoft Fix it 20074” and follow the steps in the wizard:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/en-us
You can also try to fix it manually by the steps under 'Let me fix it myself'.
If the steps above don't help, we can try to repair Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features to check the result.

Melon Chen

There was a problem sending the command to the program
I get a message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". All of my Excel workbooks!
Hi
When you double-click an Excel workbook in Windows Explorer, a dynamic data exchange (DDE) message is sent to Excel, instructing it to open the workbook that you double-clicked.
If the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting is selected, Excel ignores DDE messages sent to it by other programs. As a result, the DDE message sent to Excel by Windows Explorer is ignored,
and Excel does not open the workbook that you double-clicked.
To solve the problem, we recommend you go Office Button /
Excel Options / Advanced, and scroll all the way down to the
General section. There you will see the “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” setting checked. Uncheck the box, click OK to apply, and you’re good to go

"there was a problem sending the command to the program"

Hello,
I'm at wits end...BRAND NEW HP pavilion preloaded wit windows 8.1. Purchased a separate full version of Office 2012 Home and Business...downloaded it..loaded ...ran it....it runs fine ..UNTIL maintenance or other updates come through....then I receive
a ** * There was a problem sending the command to the program**** and it lock out ALL office programs with the same message.
My only fix has been to recover to a date BEFORE the updates or maintenance..and this works..UNTIL the updates or maintenance install....then it's Groundhog day all over again.
I have tried all the suggested fixes I have found..NONE work..NONE!! And pray tell how you can get into advanced options or any other portion of the programs to turn off the DDE when you cant access the programs or initialize them at all!!!??
SOS!!Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, we can try these steps to check if it works.
Note: Before doing the following steps, please make a backup of your registry first.
1. edit "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open " and delete the "ddeexec" key. The "ddeexec" key can also be deleted from "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12\shell\Open".
2. Change the registry for Word 2013 by right-clicking and saving:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\ddeexec] @="[REM _DDE_Direct][FileOpen(\"%1\")]" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\ddeexec\Application] @="WordView" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open\ddeexec\Topic]
@="System" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12\shell\Open\ddeexec] @="[REM _DDE_Direct][FileOpen(\"%1\")]" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12\shell\Open\ddeexec\Application] @="WordView" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12\shell\Open\ddeexec\Topic]
@="System"
3. Double-click the file after downloading to update the registry.

When I click on a desktop icon and access a site via Firefox I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This started to happen after I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and the message still comes up every time. The site will come up about three seconds after the message appears but the message is a real pain to put up with. What is the problem? I am ready to dump Firefox and go to Opera.
