Not sure about the accuracy of that figure and can we be certain this
particular thing is a Vista - Paradox issue?
IMHO controlling one app from another is always a "risky" thing.
Personally
I haven't had much good experience with DDE and I can't recall that many
here in the groups that have used it. Oleauto seems slightly better but
still could be easily broken if one of the application changes.
It is of course possibly that it is the OS that it is causing the problem
but it might as well be the version of Office that is to blame.
Ron, do you have the possibility to install Office 2007 on an XP machine
and
see if that works?
