I have made a DDE connection in my VB code to another program and can read one point which is attached to my Label1 box. How can I read multiple items once I have created a DDE connection to my Topic?
Thanks!

mustang98,

If 'another program' is the DDE server and you can 'read ...Label1' in a DDE client program then you should simply repeat the code currently applicable to Label1 to Label2 etc.

I used DDE to connect to PeachTree a long time ago. You can get any of the properties that the server will expose. You need to know the format of how it's being exposed (typically in a developer help file some where).
