DDE Links
Hi
I have a number of DDE links from which I produce a graph, the links update at source every second and I use the sheet calculate to update the spreadsheet, however I find that the sheet updates more than every second. How can I force the spreadsheet to update the links every second, is there a time function I can use to do this. Thanks in Advance Alec |

DDE Links
I'm thinking you could set the workbook's .Calculate option to manual and use
the .OnTimer feature to calculate the sheet (approximately) once per second. Do a web search for 'Excel OnTime' and you'll get help on setting it up. These three links should give you a good start: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.11).aspx http://www.cpearson.com/excel/OnTime.aspx http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/run-macro-on-time.htm "Alectrical" wrote: Hi I have a number of DDE links from which I produce a graph, the links update at source every second and I use the sheet calculate to update the spreadsheet, however I find that the sheet updates more than every second.

DDE Links
Thanks for your reply, a shall give it a try.
Is it possibe to update the links when one cell value changes, instead of using the calculate method. I think this would be a simpler way of solving my problem.
