am attempting to open an Excel document via the ShellExecute function. Until just a few minutes ago, the function was calling Excel but was then generating a DDE error message and failing to open the document. http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/dde-errors-in-excel.941334/ I went into Windows Explorer and used Folder Options / File Types to change the command used to open .XLS files, removing the "/e" at the end of the command. Now the Excel document opens properly... but *the error message is still appearing*. The message appears in a window with a title of Microsoft Excel, and the message says "A DDE error has occurred, and a description of the error cannot be displayed because it is dde error too long.

The complete path to the Excel document being opened is "C:\Jimstest.xls" so I know the length of the path cannot be causing it. I must figure out a way to allow the document to be opened without generating an error message, and preferably WITHOUT having to remove the "/e" from the end of the Excel document dde error has Open command. Any advice that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
