Hi Daniel,
If you're programming Excel, it's gotta be COM based. In that case, I'd suggest you
use MapInfo Pro's COM interface, limitated as it
may be, and forget all about DDE. Use it to have Pro export a map image, and insert
this into Excel.
'VB example
Dim oMIPro as Object
Set oMIPro = CreateObject("MapInfo.Application")
oMIPro.Do "... the necessary MapBasic commands ..."
' e.g. open tables, create mapper windows - or just open a suitable workspace - and
export the map window as (e.g.) a BMP
Set oMIPro = Nothing
'do your excel work here
Or you could just manually drag'n'drop a map window into Excel using Pro's drag tool ?
Best regards/Med venlig hilsen

Subject: MI-L DDE application communication
Dear MapInfo Users
I have recently been researching the possibility of requesting images / charts from
MapInfo Pro into
Excel.
This appears possible using DDE and have studied literature in the Mapbasic developers
guide and help files etc.
However, I am a little unsure does anybody have time to list any advice, useful
websites or any sample code that may
make the task a little easier for me to grasp.
Thanks
Daniel
