Hi Ken, I have a couple questions for you to answer about the DDE problem. 1. Is WinWord already running, or have you 'Shelled' it so it is running? 2. Is the X.LinkItem also set to 'Topics' for the control to which you are linking? I've done more links to Excel than WinWord, but I got a link to WinWord topics successfully using the same code and substituting 'WinWord' for 'Excel'. I have uploaded a file called VBXLDE.ZIP which is in DL1. It has code that may be of use to you, and if not I can send you some other things, just let me know. Here's a sample. X.LinkTopic = "WinWord|System" X.LinkItem = "Topics" X.LinkMode = 2 'cold X.LinkRequest Try this with a TextBox that has MultiLine set to true. You should see System Path + NORMAL.DOT Path + Open Doc (if a DOC is open) Let me know how things turn out. –Gregg There is 1 Reply.
