error 50290
i have a program that accesses Bloomberg DDE server to download data.
loops through a list of securities to get the available options on each security, and then it gets data for each one of the options that it finds. it seems to always get the options without any problems, but when it trys to find the data for the options (eg strike, spot, maturity, etc) it sometimes either just stops or it returns error 50290. our office recently moved over to excel 2003 and windows xp, and since we moved over that's when the problem started happening very consistently (basically every time i run the program). ive read extensively articles that ive found by googling and in groups.google.com about this error, i've implemented EVERY suggestion and none of them seem to work. i really need to work out a solution, can someone here PLEASE take a look (esp if there's anyone else out there with the same environment excel 2003, xp and bloomberg dde links) that would be really helpful to me. thanks, raj sood |

While waiting for someone with first hand experience - have you contacted
Bloomberg to see if this is a known issue/has a fix? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Raj Sood" wrote in message om... i have a program that accesses Bloomberg DDE server to download data. loops through a list of securities to get the available options on each security, and then it gets data for each one of the options that it finds. it seems to always get the options without any problems, but when it trys to find the data for the options (eg strike, spot, maturity, etc) it sometimes either just stops or it returns error 50290. our office recently moved over to excel 2003 and windows xp, and since we moved over that's when the problem started happening very consistently (basically every time i run the program). ive read extensively articles that ive found by googling and in groups.google.com about this error, i've implemented EVERY suggestion and none of them seem to work. i really need to work out a solution, can someone here PLEASE take a look (esp if there's anyone else out there with the same environment excel 2003, xp and bloomberg dde links) that would be really helpful to me. thanks, raj sood |

i have spoken w/bloomberg api analytics, they are certain its not their
problem but rather a bug with microsoft! and if you read some of the posts on groups.google.com, they may be right... thanks. raj *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |
