Wei Lu,

The XlTable format can be received by Excel when performing DDE
operations; in fact it is often recommended for use because it is
supposed to be fast. The format consists of a concatenated sequence of
records. Each type of record begins with a single byte to indicate the
type of record. Strings appear with 0x02 (floating point numbers are
0x01, etc). Strings are then encoded with a length word, followed by
the string bytes themselves.

So, my question is, if the strings are Unicode (requiring two bytes per
character), what happens then? Is there is a separate record type? Or
is there some trick to enable Excel to receive the Unicode string using
the
regular (0x02) string record? Or is it just not possible?

Thanks
Chris
