Hi there. I need to use this code on a spreadsheet
It uses DDE to talk to a program called MetaTrader and this places 'Live' price quotes in that cell.
Problem
1.User selects currency pair in Cell C4
2.I need code to place a formula in Cell F4 constructed as follows:
=MT4|BID!cell c4m
I have been trying to get this work for weeks now but with no joy
Whatever i try to do - it only places the above as TEXT in that cell, even if i open a new sheet and cells are set to General format, however - when i type the above code in a cell - i have no problems and start getting price data straight away. Hmmmmmmmmm. I just dont get it.
Would really appreciate someones help on this.
Thanks in advance.
