I saved all of your posts so that I can play with them this week.
The problem I have with the OLE link between MS and Excel is that MS is
using the security name as well as the chart name in the link.
Since I create my own modified continuous securities, whenever I change
months 9like from Mar T-Bonds to Jun T-Bonds0, the link breaks. It would be
so much easier if all I had to worry about was the chart name.

Subject: Re: permanent DDE links: How?
For any of the persistant MS to MS OLE problems, I can only suggest not to
use the SAVE AS as Smart Charts file type Option that is given, but to
create
fresh new standard Charts and then to SAVE AS as Charts. It will then
automatically also be saved as Smart Charts(if this option is applied in the
Programs' Options), but since this is also a special Metastock feature
(the "Smart" part), I cannot oversee what influence or effects this has/will
have on programs' own "real" Smart Charts.
They (the Smart Charts) are also used as being a different file type,
obviously
then more extended loaded with the smart "luxuries" features, and files get
written to with these extra luxurious "smart" contents for the compilers to
interpret.
One thing to know also is, that Smart Charts(like Templates and standard
Charts)
are also already linked(as some kind of Smart layout) to the securities held
in
the MS Data Files.
So, suggest to create and put the to be OLE linked Chart(standard version
but
having the Programs Option "Use Smart Charts" applied), into their own
working
folder, then to link these Charts to their consequtive Smart Charts(usualy
have a
number "in their name", but that is here irrelevant, unlike in Excel), or to
link the
Smart Charts to their consequetive Charts, and then to test these method(s).
As to the Excel to Ms question:
Note that the to be linked indicator dates will have to match the base
security's
dates, at least to guarantee proper OLE link outcome results.
Suggest to Link the base security's dates to Excel first, have the Excel
indicator
streamlined with these dates, and then to Link the Excel indicator to MS.
This
way, tho, requires for both the files to be Opened, eg to get updated
simultaniously.
Also a CSV layout(comma's in seperate columns or used in the cells
properties)
being used in Excel might be preferable and keeping it down to one or two
columns as well (see further MS-Manual p. 11+13).
Otherwise in Excel Selecting, Copying and in Metastock Pasting Special
as CSV in a freshly new created Inner Window(from the WorkMenu's Window)
and later to SAVE AS as Chart, will not give major problems.
Updating will then be automatically done when you Open the Chart(or both the
Chart and Excel files should you choose to use the base security link
above).

Ton Maas
