DDE commands supported by Excel are all macro commands (not VBA) that do not
return a value. For instance you ill be able to use the SELECT or ACTIVATE
command (in order to select a range or activate a sheet in a workbook) but
you will not be able to use the REFTEXT command.

You can record your actions in Excel in order to find what commands you
should use. Remember that when you want to record some macro, you have to
tell excel to create the record in the old macro language.

You will find some help in the following file : MACROFUN.HLP (from Excel 5.0
or Excel 95).

I don't know why you need to use DDE but you should really consider using
OLE Automation.

Hope this helps.
