Hey all,

This is the first time I'm trying to use DDE to talk to another application. In this case, I'm trying to send messages to Acrobat Exchange/Reader. To set up the connection, I'm using the following code:

Text1.LinkTopic = "acroview|control"
Text1.LinkItem = "[AppShow()]"
Text1.LinkMode = 1

When I step through the code, everything goes fine until it gets to the last line. Then it freezes up the application. I was thinking that this was the time it was taking to establish the connection, but I waited, and still nothing. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete / End task to unfreeze. What the heck is going on?!?
