    Hey guys,
    like the title says, I'd like to know if anybody is using this combo. I'd like to connect the OpenOffice spreadsheet with the Esignal data manager for real-time charting, pretty much like Excel but without the drawbacks of DDE. Any ideas/suggestions? Is OpenOffice feasible for this task?
    Thank you!
     
  2. Anyone knows how to get Esignal DDE data into OpenOffice 2.2? I tried

    =DDE("WINROSS";"LAST";"IBM")


    This does not seem to work. I tried

    =DDE("WINROSS";"LAST";"!IBM").
    neither
    =DDE("WINROSS";"IBM";"LAST").


    No luck either. I know how to get it to excel but Openoffice is new to me.


    Open Ofice Syntax is
    DDE(server;file;range;mode)

    Mode is optional their own thing. So server and file, esignal should send file as IBM and range as last.

    Thanks you any help.
