Help!

    I've written a macro in Excel 4.0 to communicate through a DDE
link with the DDE server included in the Borland C++ 3.1 examples.
I've modified the DDE server to simplify the messages going across the
interface.

    I can't get the data I request from or see the data I poke to the
DDE server.  I know I'm communicating properly with the server.  There
just seems to be something wrong with extracting the data.  I've written
an equivalent macro in Word 2.0 and everything works just peachy.

    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!
