during a DDE communication I would like the server to send binary data
(xxx. exe for example ); which format should I use ? CF_TXT doesn't seem
appropria te . any ideas ?

Proux,
You data type must be a "standard or registered clipboard format."
You are rarely going to transfer binary data via DDE. What is your
specific application. Perhaps I can help you with a work-around. Is this
data in memory or on disk? If it is on disk than text would be idea
because you would simply pass the name of the file. Alternatively, you
could pass the DOS handle to the open file. If it is in memory, perhaps
you might want to pass the hMem to the memory that contains the data. Does
any of this help? -=- Jonathan
