this is used to "Screen Pop" a contact management program, such as Goldmine.
• App Name Topic – The application will specify both the application name and
topic name used for making the communication link. Follow the application note
or that application’s documentation for specifics. Note: The pipe character ‘|’ must
separate the application name and topic name.
• DDE Message – Follow the application note or the application’s documentation to
define the message to be sent for that application. The format and syntax is
defined by that application.
• Run Program and Program EXE – If the target program is NOT found to be
running, you can have the action attempt to automatically start the program.
