Bloomberg connection
Ok my situation is like this: I have a computer that runs Windows XP
Professional. On the computer I have a Bloomberg subscription i.e. I have an ordinary monitor, but a Bloomberg keyboard and it is "true" Bloomberg subscription (it is not the Bloomberg website I am referring to). I have an Excel spreadsheet that is connected to Bloomberg and updated once every day using a DDE connection. Now will this work even if the Bloomberg program is closed? If not so is there any other way of creating a link that works even if the Bloomberg program is closed? The connection works through a macro that runs on a prespecified time every day. The code for opening the Bloomberg link is: channelNumber = Application.DDEInitiate(app:="BLP", topic:="S") (the code for the macro is not written by me) |
