How to exchange data between AStudio and Excel by using NetDDE?
Solution:
NetDDE can be used to exchange data, via the DDE protocol, between networked stations. - Start the DDEServer module from Studio(Projec-Status-DDE Server); - Run Excel in the remote station; - Open a Excel worksheet and fill the cells which must exchange data with Studio using the following syntax: ='\\\NDDE$'|'UNISOFT$'!.(Example:='\\PC\NDDE$'|'UNISOFT$'!second) Note: When running under Windows NT or Windows2000, it is necessary to make sure that the services Network DDE and Network DDE DSDM are started.(Use the Services shortcut from Control Panel to start these services). Note:When running under Windows 98, it is necessary to run the program \netdde.exe in both computers(e.g.:c:Windows\netdde.exe).
