DDEML error in Vista

I'm running an application that calls dplotlib. It works in XP, but generates a dialog box in Vista: DDEML error, code=0x000040009.

The command completes and outputs a file, but I can't automate because it requires user intervention due to the dialog box.

I installed the latest dplot jr.

Any ideas?

Ugh, fidgety fingers, make that 0x00004009.

Unfortunately that error code isn't very helpful. "A transaction has failed." Well, duh

If you call DPlot_SetErrorMethod(2) before whatever call is failing, you may get a more meaningful error message.

If that doesn't help, you're welcome to send me your program (source is preferable).
