Forms 4.0 MSWindows: (how) does DDE work?

I'm trying to use a Visual Basic application as a DDE source that provides services to a Forms application. In a Forms trigger there are commands DDE.Initiate, DDE.Execute, DDE.Poke and DDE.Terminate.
The only way I've been able to make this work somehow is to place an alert requiring user response between Execute and Poke. Without it I get error DMLERR_NOTPROCESSED. Timeouts of Execute and Poke are both 5000, which is certainly enough. If I remove Execute or Poke, it works, but obviously not the way I would like it to. I've also tried Initiate-Execute-Terminate-Initiate-Poke-Terminate, but that too causes the same error.
It couldn't be a limitation that you can only use one DDE transaction function call per trigger or procedure, could it? Received on Mon Feb 13 1995 - 12:03:48 CET
