A cursory glance at the documentation indicates it probably still does. quzi wrote: ...or is some thing newer? There are a variety of IPC mechanisms, such as COM, Mailslots, Pipes, and RPC, just to name a few. quzi wrote: Is any examples of DDE (or newer thing) availabel some where? Here is but one. Try Googling for others.

Use of DDE is discouraged on Windows Server 2003. The DDE is a gaping security hole, as I understand it. You are supposed to use the Micosoft Message Queue, or the other methods as David suggested.
