If necessary, I can dig into my archives and send you a couple of
example files, but I have to go out of town for a couple of days, and
these files are archived off site. I will not have time to hunt until
probably Thursday. In the meantime, someone else may solve your
problem for you. I will check
they only help if you are using access or excel.
the help topics don't answer what exactly the service, topic or
anything else should be for other apps ie myapp.exe
Take a look in vi.lib/platform/dde.llb. You will find all of the dde
vi's here. Also go to the Labview "help" menu, and search for dde. You
will find examples of both send and recieve dde.
Hope this helps. Good luck
