In general it shouldn't be a problem if your application is a DDE server
with some kind of standard behavior, even if there is no standard for DDE ...
While the Excel formula syntax is =program|topic!data
in OOoCalc it is =DDE("program";"topic";"data")
There may be differences though how arriving data is interpreted.
OOoCalc's DDE() function supports an additional parameter for how
numbers are to be interpreted, see the online help topic "DDE function".
