Creating automated help system

Greetings,

I've used FrameMaker to insert a named destination with the
name "error" in a .pdf file.  Now I would like to navigate to that
location programmatically using DDE and Acrobat Reader, but
DdeClientTransaction fails with DMLERR_NOTPROCESSED.
Following is the code:

const char *DDE_CMD_STRING = "[FileOpenEx(\"D:\\Temp\\TestFile.pdf\")]";
const char *DDE_CMD_STRING1 =
"[DocGoToNameDest(\"D:\\Temp\\TestFile.pdf\",\"M8.newlink.error\")]";
char ddeCmdBuf[64];
char ddeCmdBuf1[100];

strcpy (ddeCmdBuf, DDE_CMD_STRING);
strcpy (ddeCmdBuf1, DDE_CMD_STRING1);

// Omitted DDE initialization and other setup
DdeClientTransaction ((unsigned char *)ddeCmdBuf, (DWORD)strlen(ddeCmdBuf),
(HCONV)hConversation, NULL, (UINT)CF_TEXT, (UINT)XTYP_EXECUTE, (DWORD)1000,
&dwResult);
// No problem here file opens

DdeClientTransaction ((unsigned char *)ddeCmdBuf1,
(DWORD)strlen(ddeCmdBuf1), (HCONV)hConversation,NULL, (UINT)CF_TEXT,
(UINT)XTYP_EXECUTE, (DWORD)1000, &dwResult);
// This call fails

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,
Drew
