Security

Security  Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is an older technology that is not secure. If possible, use a more secure alternative to DDE, such as object linking and embedding (OLE).

Example

This example loops through all the floating shapes in the active document and sets all linked Microsoft Excel worksheets to be updated automatically.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  For Each s In ActiveDocument.Shapes
    If s.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then
        If s.OLEFormat.ProgID = "Excel.Sheet" Then
            s.LinkFormat.AutoUpdate = True
        End If
    End If
Next
