Hey guys, thought someone would be that smart to help me out with this.
I use
command in Excel to get the bid price for EURUSD, but the price keeps switching between normal format (1.4660) to something like this 1009167,0000. I have no idea how to avoid this.
Something to do with filetypes? Would be very thankful for any insight.

Okay, I see this is a problem of Regional and Language Options in Windows. As soon
as you have selected an option, where you have a comma instead of a decimal point
in a number (like we do in Central Europe), DDE posts this corrupt data. Any idea
of how to solve this?

Did you solve the decimal point / comma problem yet? If so, please let me know how. Txs.

I rewrote the MS Excel application into an MQL4 script to avoid any compatibility issues...
