XL RTD server

[R Avery]

I am testing out the program that is referenced in the following link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnexcl2k2/html/odc_xlrtdbuild.asp


It works insofar that it automatically updates the prices in real-time,
but whenever i start to do copying and pasting Excel crashes.
Specifically, when i am in cut-copy mode and i do anything to get out of
it (like pressing Esc), Excel locks up and crashes. This bug only
happens if i have active =RTD functions in the worksheet.

It does not seem as though there is anything in the code of the RTD
server that would cause this. Perhaps a bug in my Excel?

I have created my own RTD server based on the example, and it works
perfectly, except that it suffers from the same fatal bug that the
original does - Excel crashes when canceling cutcopy mode.


Windows XP SP-1, Excel XP SP-2.


Any help would be appreciated.

This issue has since been resolved. A simple computer restart fixed the
problem, whatever it was.
