DDE Driver Tag Type Properties: Network DDE Tab
The Network DDE tab of the DDE driver tag properties folder is used to indicate the name of the computer on which the DDE server is running, and the share name that identifies the DDE server on the computer.
Note: Specific instructions on configuring VTS as a DDE server and as a DDE client are provided in Sharing Data between VTS and External Applications.

The DDE Computer Name field enables you to enter the name of the server on which your DDE share (specified in the DDE Share Name field) was created (e.g. Station9).
The DDE Share Name field enables you to enter the name of the DDE share you created on the server specified in the DDE Computer Name field. You must add the .OLE extension to the name of the DDE share (e.g. DDEShare$.OLE).
Note: Unlike the Modicon, Allen-Bradley, and Omron Host Link drivers, the configuration folder and common routines for the DDE driver cannot be customized.
