It was my understanding it works (and of course help supports that).
However, as a fall back, the time tested

workbook level property
SetLinkOnData

should work.

Hi Tom,

My expirience was with XL97. But i tested jus a minute ago the same in
Xl2003. Same result.
On my computer i have a programm called Wonderware Intouch. This app has a
variable with the name $second, and it's a time value.
In my workbook i linked it via DDE, so:

=view|tagname!$second

This should raise the event every second, but it didn't! I can't explain
it.
Manualy typing data in a cell did raise the event............

From help on the change event:

Occurs when cells on the worksheet are changed by the user or by an
external
link.

If you are using xl97, this didn't work, but it was fixed in xl2000 and
later. Where do you get your information?

Sorry Tom,

The change event will not be triggered when the linked data changes.

You would have to save the value somewhere else each time it changed.
