Philippe,

Does not exist yet.

If you can't program in Delphi or C then this is not so easy. But 
there are plenty of people out there that you can hire.

> and can you give us a detailed example ?

As I said:

1. Easy Language program calls a DLL giving it the DDE service, topic 
and item as a pointer to a string.
2. The dll links to Excel via DDE. 
3. DLL returns value of excel cell as float.

Shouldn't be that difficult. I guess the hard part is that the 
dll must be able to handle multiple links and must realize when a new 
link is not required anymore.

I am sure that Pierre Orphelin can help you on this one if you are 
looking for a programmer in France. A capable programmer should be 
able to do it in a day.
