Thanks Brendon
Wish I had checked it more carefully to start with. I have ben
looking at the DDE and it seems to be reasonably straight forward.
I have a couple of questions if you or someone else would n't mind
helping.
I see that to get errors. You have to use ="cdemo|error!error however
when I do that I get the result invalid topic? Any ideas on how I can
track errors.
Also I use STP LMT orders and using the demo I can't seem to send STP
LMT orders. I have used both "STP_LMT" and also "STP LMT" but the
resulting DDE links all just show 0s.
Any thoughts.
Thanks for the help.
Regards
Chas

Chas,
OK have happily created my App in Excel but every now and then IB
fills an order and I do not get the event to handle. This happens
if
I have multiple orders being filled at the same time. Is there
anything I can do to fix this or do I have to go back to the
begining
and redesign it useing DDE??
I had the same problems and redesigned the whole thing in DDE and
everything
works well now. IB has specifically recommended against using VB
with Excel
for TWS because of the dropped events.
