Excel & IB - full auto environment

[Fte_Fce]

Hi all,


I have developped some strategies on Excel and would like to link Excel with IB in a full automatic environment.

Example : as soon as the cell C4 on Excel becomes "1", a sell order for X contracts on NQ is automaticly sent to IB.

Which software would be the best?

Many thanks for your help

DDE works great in Vista. I am using vista 64 bit with Office 2007, and no problems whatsoever
