I've been trying to create a connection between Excel and a terminal
program that supports several DDE commands. I can initialize the
connection, read information from it, but when I try a Poke command it
fails. I'm running Excel 2000 PRO under Windows 2000. Any
suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this? I thought it might by the
symantic anti-virus program, but when I shut down the two services it
had no effect. The DDE connection works under 98 and XP at home, so
I'm assuming it's an OS issue (unlikly), or some other service that it
getting in the way. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
