I'm going gray over this one. I know this is not a FM issue but I cannot get FM to perform the DDE Execute until I get it sorted out. Does anybody know where I can locate a list of the commands that MS Excel will accept through a DDE link? I need to do some pretty simple things in Excel with some summary data from FM but I would like to do it without user input. I cannot find much in the archives, Excel help file or the MS web page?

Nevermind. I was able to find a reference list and several hours later have managed to figure out the correct syntax for the DDE Execute to update the necessary cells (very poorly documented, thanxs Bill!), perform a save as changing the name to a timestamp and exit Excel. Works well in the test file, now to try it in the real one with complicated summary data.
