 |
|
I'm trying to retrieve data from a network DDE source but have not had much luck getting it to work.
When run locally it works just fine using the following command.
DDE LINK,SERVER,Values
Trying to access it remotely should be something like this.
DDE LINK,\\NODE\SERVER,Values
From the docs I've read it looks like it should work but it always fails to connect.
Anybody else played with this. Am I over-simplifying things?
Thanks........

David,
I have played with this and I could not get it to work either. I don't remember what the outcome was when I tried it before since it has been over a year since I did that little bit of research.

David,
Another thing you may not be aware of is the fact that Network DDE relies on NetBios. Your network needs to support this protocol to support Network DDE.
