Recent unwanted DDE "select data source" prompt in Excel API

  1. This recently started occurring in my Excel API running DDE Socket Bridge. My ticker tab values auto-updates with no issue, but to access account, portfolio, or historical data, a DDE prompt pops up that I have to manually press "OK" on (for instance when I press Subscribe to Portfolio Updates). This used to not be the case. Anyone know how to remove this prompt?

    Running TWS 10.20, TWS API 10.20, Win 11 64-bit, latest version Java 8.0.361

  2. Mods you can delete. I just had two instances of DDE open.
