    Hi all - I know there are some computer experts out there so hopefuly someone can point me in the right direction.

    I have 2 PCs set up on a network. One is my trading PC - just my trading algos etc. The other is my research PC, including a Bloomberg terminal. On the research PC I am using Active-X controls (DDE also possible) to feed BBG price data into Excel and other home-made applications.

    What I would now like to do is pipe the data from my BBG PC across the network to my trading PC in real-time so that it can be accessed in my trading algos. Is there an easy way to do this? Any tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Just share out the drive and/or folder where the spreadsheet is. Then browse to it via "My Network Places" from the other computer.
