Default DDE error

Hi! I dowload data into excel by using a macro. I have a dde connection.
usually it works finme but sometime i get an error sent from the dde. this
causes a problem becuase i save the dde answer in a varaible in vba. if i get
an error from the dde thenm I get the message "incopatible type" when i try
to save the answer in a variable. the code:

returnList = Application.DDERequest(channelNumber, BloomQuery)
BBAnswer = returnList(1)


on the last row i get an error when the dde request gives an error. how can
i capture this so that the program does not stop but insteads saves BBAnswer
as "Error" or something? please help! thanks alot!!
