Thanks for looking into this.

The different situation just illustrates the point that there IS a problem with
DDE and LibreOffice that I should not be able to produce at my computer no
matter how hard I try. This situation does not have a separate test case at
this point, so please don't wait for one. Your case where it works with the
soffice DDE server would not mean much as in my attached test cases, even the
complex case works with the soffice DDE server at my end, where the other
problems persist.

What the original issue would require is the attention of a DDE / Libre Office
expert. To the extent that we get the chance to experiment with test DDE
clients and servers with logging capabilities. At this stage, no serious
questions have been asked with respect to the resolution of the problem.

I would imagine that DDE is perhaps one of the more complex parts of the
system. It is quite possible that the TOS DDE server I use may play an
important role in this, and we would need the ability to potentially pinpoint a
problem to the extent that we can engage the vendor of that DDE server, in case
that this server causes the problem. But to do that, we would first need to
analyze.

So to get this issue into a confirmed state needs some expert analysis. I am
more than happy to help there if required because I have computer programming
skills (Java), but not Windows native and DDE.
