Launching separate Windows app from Forms 4.5 for DDE

Hi,



I need to launch a separate Windows application upon loading of my Forms 4.5
application.  I attempt to use HOST with NO_SCREEN and NO_PROMPT, however, the
Windows application does have a window and display.  



It isn't working, ie: the control to Forms never returns until the separate
Windows executable is closed. 



I need to perform DDE between FORMS and this separate Windows app.  Any ideas on
how to launch this separate Windows application successfully?  With Forms still
in control when it is completed?



Thanks


Kirsten
