No I hadn't exactly. But I just did something similar.
I ran this on the same machine, once under the Development version and once under the run-time version. With the following results:

                    && Under Developer       Under Run-Time
? ddeenabled()           &&  .T.                      .F.
? ddeenabled(.t.)        &&  .T.                      .F.
? ddeenabled()           &&  .T.                      .F.
? ddelasterror()         &&   0                       10


Thanks for the input,
