> Can you elaborate DDe links setup and how you use it.

Sorry but i do not know the word elaborate ??
It's probably because i am dutch :-))

I think you mean how to set up the DDE links ??

That depens very much on wich data provider you use.

Normaly i would say that the program name (your data providors
program i mean) is often the SERVER, the ticker symbol is often 
the TOPIC and the thing you want (last,  volume, etc) is often the ITEM

In some cases the topic is replaced by a number.

If you are able to receive quotes in microsoft excel then you can find
it out through that also (my dataprovidor suplied me some excel sheets)

A DDE link in excel for my providor looks like this:

=NDKCC|DATA!'ASR LAST'

Server:  NDKCC
Topic: DATA
Item: ASR LAST

As you can see with my providor the Topic is not the Symbol (ASR)
That is why you need to find out the settings for your providor.

Hope this helps
