>Hello,

Excel and Word were specifically designed to allow Automation. Outlook also. But Outlook Express does not allow Automation, as far as I know.
The idea is that you can't just automate any program - only programs specifically designed for it.
I assume the same would be valid for DDE, although I didn't use DDE.
