Improvements for DDE ?

I have a little problem with DDE in MT4.

When i open a spreadsheet, it sometimes takes a long time before values are updated (i get a bunch of N/As) and during week-ends they never get updated.

This was not the case with MT3.8 which always instantly updated DDE fields, even during week-ends.

I can only assume that it may be because MT4 "waits" a tick movement before updating DDE fields. Would it be possible to change the DDE function in MT4 so that it works like it did with MT3.8 ? That would be really highly appreciated.

Bob

PS : congrats for the final version of MT4. A really fine piece of work, especially with the strategy tester.
