   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?
