DDE Server

Can MS be a DDE Server? One of the applications I support uses DDE to send a string to a doc where I use MS to put it on the clipboard and then manipulate it for use in another application. I would like to eliminate Word as the DDE server.

No, afraid not. But it's a neat idea.

Can your app shell command lines/run programs instead? If so it could just do:

msched.exe macroname /string=blabla

Or if it can call URLs (HTTP) then msNet (Macro Scheduler remote controller) would work for you also.
