	Well, I have some experience with DDE. First of all, the articles
I read about DDE all sound great and promising, but programming DDE is not
all that easy. I use the tool Knowledge Pro to implement different kinds of
applications, mostly client server using DDE to conversate. When both
applications are Knowledge Pro everything works fine. Now I'm trying to
implement an application using Knowledge Pro and DynaComm and I can't seem to
establish an error-free DDE conversation.
	Problem with tools like Knowledge Pro, Dynacomm etc is that they all
provide a sample program where the tool is the client and MS-Exel is the server.Documentation on DDE is often poor, especially when you want to use the tool as
a server and as I've already said, they don't include any sample programs.
	The sample programs and documentation included in the MS-SDK are
actually quite good. If you are going to program your applications using the
MS-SDK I think you won't meet too many problems.

	So far my experiences. BTW if anyone has a DDE_server script for
DynaComm (version 3.0a by Futuresoft) I would appreciate it you you could send
it to me. Thanks in advance,

Corne.
