I am using the demo Excel sheet found at
http://www.interactivebrokers.com/index.html?cgi-bin/apiBetaControl.pl~top.body
What I tried to do was substitute the usual username
cell with //computer/usename
I can pass DDE interprocess (same machine) without
a problem, but so far have not been able to establish
a netDDE connection from an Excel on one machine
to a TWS on another. I've setup both DDEshare &
trusted, also tried NetBIOS straight & over IP.
I haven't used NetDDE before, so I'm not sure if I
am making a fundamental NetDDE flaw, or if this is
a TWS issue.
All help warmly received :)

Have you used their sample DDE excel sheet?
By netDDE, do you mean to a different computer on your network or on the
machine that TWS is running on?
No problem if on same pc.
But I have *never* been able to get real-time data to another machine.

Subject: TWS via netDDE?
Can anyone who has used TWS via netDDE on Win XP
(or 2k/NT) tell me how they did it?
I have created ddeshare entries for
edemo, edemo|* and edemo$ in both DDE shares
and trusted shares, but I can't get Excel to
connect via netDDE to TWS.
I've tried using \\computername\edemo,
I keep getting Invalid Name errors with Excel.
\\ip.ip.ip.ip\edemo gives me a Value not available
error.
I saw some stuff saying to use
\\computername\ndde$/edemo but that just gives
me VB/Excel errors.
Thanks guys,
Justin
