    DDE real time and time dispay conflict

    I am pulling real time stock (10 stocks)data into sheet1 andlinking each
    stockto its own sheet on which I have a number of analytics in XL function
    which updae as the data streams in.

    I would like to use VBA procedures to increase the power of the analytics
    but when I run any of these procedures it blocks the standard recalculation.

    I have the same problem running a simple real time timedisplay
    into a cell in one sheet.

    Does this mean that when a VBA procedure runs there is nothing else that can
    be done?

    What if I use two instances of Excel and use one for DDE and link to the
    other one where the Excel formulas are.

    I have plenty of RAM but is there an intrinsic limit of how many instances I
    can have running?

    Many thanks of any help.

    Easiest would be to test it out. I don't think there is an intrinsic limit
    since some people that screw up their automation code have many instances
    running.
