Hi Dan!

Another possible clue:

The "I" commands ECS is sending, that ACE is not responding to, do not show
up in the ECS DDE Monitor window during the update.

Cheers!

Michael,  That's odd.  I would have expected there to be some errors.  I
may have to re-think my theory on why there are errors when ace is
updating item statuses.  But, I'm glad it works.
