How do I send data between 2 VB6 programs with DDE?

$

I have opened two instances of the VB6 IDE. On both I've placed a text box, and I've set the linkitem on said text box to "xyz" on both programs. I've then set the linktopic to "ABC|123" on both programs. Then I start one of them running. On the other I set the link mode to automatic hoping it will connect to the first one. But it's not working. I keep getting the error "no foreign application responded to a dde initiate".

Please help.
