Test cases in zip file
My apologies. New zip file should replace old.
To reproduce this at your end might be difficult, and I might need to supply
additional information. First, I am using the Ameritrade Thinkorswim platform
as a DDE server "TOS" which is perhaps not available to you. Perhaps you have a
different DDE client that might function in a similar manner. Perhaps you want
to play around with these files to get an idea. I am truly sorry about this.
But on the other hand, it is a trivial case in a way and in another way it is
not. I am thinking that you might have the desire to break the DDE function in
such a way that this reproduces at your end. That would be ideal.
I have been using DDE in Calc with the hard-coded Item/range parameter for
years in hundreds of spreadsheets with the same TOS server for years and I did
not find a single problem. In fact I switched to Calc from Excel because Excel
locked up occasionally! Now I cannot get this slightly more complex version to
work at all.
I think it makes so much more sense to fetch the Item/range parameter from a
separate cell where it is visible.
Many thanks in advance.</pre>
