- DDE server name (in the line configuration) is defined in the form of \\computer_name\server, where computer_name is the network name of the PC with running DDE server (e.g. \\WRK_PC\Excel).
- On the PC with running DDE server, the Network DDE service must be running. You can run it also manually: Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Services, find Network DDE, and click Start. In case you need an automatic start-up, change the Startup type to Automatic -> OK.
- On the PC with aD2000 KOM process as a DDE Client, the Network DDE service is run automatically at the first request for the NetDDE server. If you are experiencing a problem with access rights, the Logon dialog box for entering access name and password, which are valid on the PC with the DDE server, will be displayed. Usually, it is necessary to use the Win NT system utility "ddeshare" on the PC with the DDE server for configuration of access right rights of individual users to individual DDE servers, topics, and cells.
