I always start up the DDE link do the transferee then close the link. I
never have it open longer than I need. It is a bit more of a overhead, but
it might solve your problem. I have used this without any hassles.

Subject: MI DDE time out
We encountered on one application (MBX + VB) a DDE time out error in the
following setup : Windows95, MI4.5/5.5
This would occur after some "activity" with other programs, like office. The
only way we found out for getting rid of it would be to restart Windows.
It does not seem to be MapInfo fault, but Windows. Ex.: starting with a
"cold" machine, running the application, no problem. Opening and working
with Word, running the application, DDE time out.
Could anyone confirm that trouble/remedy? Would it also happen with
Windows98, NT ...?
