Conflict between Excel and Outlook
I am running a trial version of Office 2007 on an XP SP3. I also tried it on
Windows 7 RC and I am having the same problem. My Excel workbook has links that get updated through DDE and/or other workbooks. All of these work great on their own. However if Outlook is running these links wont update and Excel freezes until I close Outlook. Any idea if there is a solution. as this was not occuring with Office 2002. Thank you |

I don't know if this will cure it or not, but I think it's worth a try.
Office Button - [Excel Options] then select the Advanced group and down about 75-90% of the way is a grouping called General. Toggle the option for "Ignore other applications that use DDE" and keep your fingers crossed. There's also a toggle for "update links to other documents" in the grouping (When Calculating this Workbook) just above the General one that you might also take a look at.
