A DDE link is a string of characters. These characters make up a set of information that provides the link with the information it needs to plug data into other applications. Knowing how to build these links will increase your ability to use DDE, but the program is equipped with tools that make building links easy. To get started, you should be familiar with the syntax of a link, and then about using the Link Generator.
