Hi Nicholas,
I've worked with DDE in both C and C++ in older versions of Microsoft C and
Visual C or whatever they called it then. They then came out with DDEML
which helped a bit. However, I'm having real problems trying to find any
corresponding structure in C# so still not sure where to turn. I'm also a
bit confused as to why I'm struggling with this in C# because it was/is such
a simple concept in C/C++.
I'll keep hunting. Thanks for the help.
