Richard, you straight man you.

I'm using the Oracle Glue DDE Server. Just hacking around a bit. You put it up in the background, and it takes DDE requests for data (from, say, Excel or Word) and routes it to SQL*Net.

So you can write DDE scripts that call the Glue functions that log on, get data, modify it, etc. Most cool.

That I do *not* have, but send me mail and I'll put you in touch with a friend of mine, Peter, who I believe has that info.

Cheers.
