Usage

It is intended for use primarily in field formulas, agents, and toolbar buttons. Since the Macintosh does not support DDE, these commands will not work on Macintosh workstations.This function does not work in column or selection formulas, and is not intended for use in window title or form formulas.

If the user's NOTES.INI file includes the statement

NoExternalApps=1

then any formula involving @DDE functions is disabled. The user doesn't see an error message, the formula fails to execute. Be sure to terminate all DDE conversations once they're completed, or you may run out of sessions and be unable to initiate more conversations when needed.

You cannot use this function in Web applications.
