Thank you for your extended material on DDE & OLE. (Unfortunately,
because I'm a WIN user since V1, I used the "ancient" shortcut "DDE"
instead of the correct "OLE").
But the problem is still there (c.f. my original posting): Even if I
follow the correct CUT&PASTE SPECIAL procedure and store my charts as
SMART CHARTS (as usual), the links are often broken, when I open the
chart again the next day. Sometimes it works for some days, but then
the links have crashed again: they are no longer updated or may even
show erratic behavior for the data transferred up to then.
This behavior shows up only for OLE-connections from Metastock to
Metastock. Links from Metastock to Excel are very reliable.
(BTW: Can I also set-up links from Excel to Metastock for e.g.
single indicators calculated in Excel? Up to now I have to use this
inconvenient import procedure via DOWNLOADER CONVERT several times per
day.)
