ExcelLink "com.neva.DdeException ddeError-0x4000 - A request..."

[mjfergus]

A new error from ExcelLink
"com neva.DdeException ddeError=04000 - A request for a synchronous advise transaction has timed out[A request for a synchronous advise transaction has timed out]"

The error occured during a disruption of the Excel file.  Are such errors non-recoverable for ExcelLink?  It appears ExcelLink must be completely shutdown to recover from this error message.

In Java, unexpected or uncaught exception would require the program to restart in order recover from the exception. Hence such errors are indeed not self-recoverable.
