Maybe I should have asked Gautier directly, but I thought that maybe someone else got benefit from the answer. You are probably right that there are better ways to do this, but searching the group for OLE doesn't help much. The idea of using DDE is inspired by my interest for Tcl/Tk, which have a package for DDE. (I have also used Gautier's excellent Excel_Writer.)
