I have an application written in Powerbuilder that opens a DDE channel
to Word through Powerbuilder's OpenChannel() function. A Word document
is open, and then we open up a channel to it via appname (DDE name) =
'WINWORD' and topicname = the name of the document. It's been working
fine for Word 2003 for years. Now that we've switched to Word 2007
the OpenChannel() function now returns an error -- it can't open a
channel.

Any thoughts on what I need to change? I tried just using 'WORD'
rather than 'WINWORD' as the DDE name but that makes no difference.
Thanks for any help.
