Private Subobject_LinkOpen([indexAsInteger,]cancelAsInteger)

The LinkOpen event syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
cancel An integer that determines whether the DDE conversation is established or not. Leaving cancel set to 0 (the default) establishes the conversation. Setting cancel to any nonzero value refuses the conversation.
index An integer that uniquely identifies a control if it's in a control array.

Remarks

This event occurs for forms when a destination application is initiating a DDE conversation with the form. It occurs for controls when a control is initiating a DDE conversation with a source application.
