<QUOTE>Hi Mark,



No, currently it does not - MS deprecated it back in the mid-90s in favour of OLE and so far this post is the only interest I've seen in it.  What sort of DDE support are you looking for - controlling OI or using OI as a controller?

<QUOTE>I managed to replace DDE functionality by creating 2 Windows apps. One sends messages from OI10 to the CAD app. The other sends messages from the CAD app to OI10.
