Anybody had as success to exchange information with Excel using Global Variables 2.2?

If so, how did you proceed?.
- I can't reference GlobalVariable.DLL to Excel 2007 VBA. Probably not created for Microsoft VBA.
- I never saw a VBA working code, mind to share few lines?

Any help appreciated because I'm

Did succeed to communicate between MC anf Forex

Excel wrote a string in GV
MC read it and decode it


Now, How can I have MC read GV on real time. Information are updated only of the start of a new bar. Is it possible to have it in real rime

Don't know if it will help, but perhaps you can use the new RecalcLastBarAfter reserved word to force a recalculation and thus update of your global variable?

while I'm moving around this theme (again). I found the Global Dll 2.2 with source code - you need visual studio for c++ to open it or any other editor to just read

This is great.

Anyone knowing C++ coding could open up the source code?
