Hello,

I am helping write software that is acting as a DDE Server to Excel. We've already got in place everything to send text (CF_TEXT) using Server|Topic!'Item' formulas placed in the Excel cells where we want the data to appear. This is very stratightforward and works.

However, now I really need to have Excel do the same thing, requesting data from this software, but for an image (CF_BITMAP). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this... If I set up a Application|Image!'Image' formula, my software gets a request for CF_TEXT so Excel thinks it wants text.

Please Help, anyone?
Thanks so much,

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
