Hello,
I'm trying to use a DDE interface, but I'm not able to connect to the DDE server, I get the following message:
24/01/13 14:48:40 [data source #1] DDE interface. Error while connecting to DDE server "ddeserver"

I tried 2 DDE servers (which are working normally in Excel) and I've tried on both WinXP and Win7. But without success. What could it be?

Thank you.

Could you specify the program name? Can we test these servers too?

Hi Arthur, the programs are commercial, and I can only use them with the license, then it gets tricky you test them unfortunately. But I'll see what I can do... thanks anyway

When will we have an answer here? No server is working for me, already tested on all Windows versions. I need to send the DDE server? It has no other way to test this?
Thanks.

The connection is failing with invalidparameter.

Arthur, when can we have solving this issue?

Fixed. Please, try it with your servers:

Hi Arthur, I have tested the new version and now it's working fine with all DDE servers. Thank you very much for your quick assistance.
