Hello Luc, I have last used DDE tools about a decade ago. I doubt you will find a simple replacement since the technology has moved on. I would analyse what you are actually trying to achieve with the DDE and rethink the methodology.
In our case we replaced it with some ODBC calls to a database the target system populates and we poll it periodically. LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS is a very powerful command these days and I have had success with it in a number of situations. It has replaced functionality that we could only achieve with a plugin previously. Many systems support web services as well - another possibility. Maybe we could be of more help we knew what the DDE calls were trying to achieve. David Samson Manchester U.K. I am not too familiar with DDE_Tools.
