I have been successfully using DDE commands with the DDE_EXECUTE command for some time. I have been using the APP.Maximise, APP.Minimise and the NEW commands amongst others.

Now I want to use the command GET.Document to get lots of information about a work sheet in Excel. Unfortunately, the command has two parameters, an information code, then a return string.

I can't work out how to receive the information back from Excel in the second parameter. Is this possible? Is there a limitation with the DDE_EXECUTE command that will not allow any variables to be passed back into ProIV?

Can DDE_REQUEST be used to run commands such as GET.Document? I have been unsuccessful with this also.

Thanks in advance...
