If you are creating a DDE application with hotlinks you may run into synchronization problems where the data being exchanged between the server and the client is not equivalent. This is a temp fix that will allow the DDE hotlinks to work correctly and keep data exchange consistent. To install this fix, unzip the tempfix into a blank directory. Copy all files contained within the tempfix to the \IBMCPPW\BIN directory replacing all corresponding files (It is a good idea to make a backup of all files you will be replacing by simply renaming all files with an extension .BAK).
