Using DDE
DDE in Visual Basic
The necessary commands, such as the LinkExecute method, are built into the Visual
Basic Language.
Because of the design of Microsoft Visual Basic, a program may not send a DDE
command while simultaneously processing another DDE command. This limitation can
generally be avoided by using a timer-driven queue to send the responses to DDE
commands. for additional information on the asynchronous nature of the system and its
affect on application design. please see
