I am writing a WinWord macro that requests data from different applications via DDE. Now, if some request fails I normally get an error back, but Excel 3.0 just doesn't reply. I have to wait for a timeout in Winword. If Excel then gets activated by user action it first displays a message box telling whatever went wrong in the DDE request. Perhaps I overlooked an option in excel - somthing like: "Handle DDE requests just like user interaction." - Or its just an X.0- error:-). I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks Peter
