- Laura's suggestion works fine with other software that supports DDE (at
- least it worked for me with Word for Windows 2.0). However, this technique
- did not work with Quicken for Windows 1.01.

- I received a few notes from other Quicken users who also would be able to
- make use of the information needed to get DDE data from QFW. If anyone else
- has more information, we would appreciate it.
