Interesting method Gerry. I could do that but I don't think most users will want to deal with that complexity. I am actually asking for a guy in New Zealand, not for myself. Thanks though - a method to keep in mind...

Ok, Thanks. The server has great graphics which is why many guys still want to use it. It is not a project for me - I'm not that good at graphics and at 78, I don't think I will try to learn...

Right, but that doesn't matter because the user of the computer controls both apps. There is no case where an outside connection can make it different than what the user sets up. These apps are designed to run in a stand-alone situation, often without even internet access. The server reports the position of a satellite, and the client positions an antenna to track it. How can that not be secure?

Well, ok, but I have no choice because I did not write the server app, have no source, and no support. And no other app that can do what this one does. Also, how is it a security risk when both apps are running on the same machine. As long as the machines themselves are secure I do not see how DDE is a risk at all.

In any case I really would like to have some idea if this is fixable by some permission setting or perhaps modification to the DDE client (which IS my program).
