	It's not fancy, it's a quickie.

	Thanks John K., John Z., and Don F.

	The worksheet is just for the demo(it's a wimp)

	Forgive my ignorance of the API and neat VB
	 tricks.  I'm still a VB part-timer until I
	 wrap up a couple DOS Projects, but then...

	If you want to HOT link the chart, instead of
	 using a COLD link and LinkRequest, and you 
	 LinkPoke more than a few items let me know
	 how the speed is affected.  Right now the 
	 chart update seems rather slow.  Instantaneous
	 is fast enough for me.

Things that go bump:

When the "Initiate" button is pressed the LinkTopics
and items are set and a LinkRequest is executed for 
each of the textboxes.  If Excel wasn't previously 
running it works, if Excel was already loaded then the
textboxes don't seem to recognize incoming data.

Excel is Shelled as an icon and the chart looks a bit
strange on the intitial DDE LinkRequest.  If you restore
Excel and then minimize it again the chart changes in
appearance.  You can of course change the chart in Excel
and the changes will appear on the next update.  Try
bringing up the chart to the foreground in Excel, then
minimizing it and updating the chart(just for fun).

The initial DDE initiation code for the controls can 
be moved into Form_Load from BTN_Initiate_Click but
you'll want to see some of John Kesler's messages on
other things to check.  If the initiation is done in
Form_Load you may get an Err 282(No DDE response).
Is this because Excel is still loading the worksheet
even though GetModuleHandle says Excel is there?  I 
think this is the case but John Kesler/Zuck will no
doubt have a definitive answer.  The worksheet can be 
loaded after Excel is running if you prefer.
