Summary:
When attempting to use the ddeformul.xls sheet under Windows 95, Excel complains about NETDDE not running. 

Solution:
NetDDE is a system service that is running by default under Windows NT and Windows For Workgroups 3.11, not under Windows 95. To start NetDDE under Windows 95, you will need to create a shortcut in the startup group pointing to the NETDDE.EXE file which resides in the Windows 95 directory. NetDDE will now work across any application. TechNet seems to document using NetDDE with Windows 95 quite reasonably.
