DDE help

[Scoty]

I am programming a dde interface for an IBM personal comm...I have an intermented hangup problems...It is driving me nuts..on the dde spy from ms it say I have a 4009 error..(param?) But with VBA I cant set the

PARAM

(or can I?). I dont believe the error has anything to do with the hang up as I get the error everytime (and it is not fatal). I have put in a

SSTAT

on the session but the error occurs on the

DDEINITIATE

..thus causing the lock up before I can evalute the return. Can someone please help me or point me in the correct direction as I have had it :-(

Doug my code reads as follows

sesd = DDEInitiate("IBM327032", "SessionD")
ready = DDERequest(sesd, "sstat")
DDEExecute sesd, "[SENDKEY(wait inp inh)]"
If Left(ready, 3) <> &quot;nor&quot; Then ready = Mid(ready, 63, 1) Else ready = Mid(ready, 60, 1)
If ready <> 0 Then GoTo timer
ps = DDERequest(sesd, &quot;ps&quot;)
DDETerminate sesd
