Uninstall QLink

[waynecd]

How is Qlink uninstalled.

I installed it by mistake trying to install whatever plugin is needed for me to export data to MS Excel via DDE.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find the correct plug-in I would appreciate a link. I think one is needed since when I put the "=eSignal|EFS!... Excel freezes.

Thank you.

You uninstall QLink using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel
For information on using DDE in efs see the DDEOutput Object article in the EFS KnowledgeBase. You can also find many examples of the use of DDE in the EFS forums as this topic has been discussed extensively

Alex, Thanks, it uninstalled fine.

Feel free to move this post since it is likely not right for this forum.

I have tried four different examples from the forums but all freeze the Excel spreadsheet (including "sName.replace..."). That is why I was looking for a plug-in. The simplest example is: "DDE_sample_EFS.efs" (below) then I add the line "=eSignal|EFS!EMA30IDCD" in an Excel cell but Excel freezes. Nothing I have found so far tells me to do it differently.
I also just changed the line:
"var sName = "EMA30" + getSymbol() + getInterval();"
TO
"var sName = "EMA30"
and put "=eSignal|EFS!EMA30" in Excel but it still froze.
and yes, the efs was loaded and running in a chart.

/[PHP]
var ddeEMA30 = null;

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
setStudyTitle("DDE EMA30");
setShowCursorLabel(false);
}

function main() {
if (ddeEMA30 == null) {
var sName = "EMA30" + getSymbol() + getInterval();
debugPrintln(sName);
ddeEMA30 = new DDEOutput(sName);
}

var vEMA30 = call("/library/ema.efs", 20);
if(vEMA30 != null) ddeEMA30.set(vEMA30);

return;
}

As you can see in the enclosed screenshot the script and the DDE link you posted appear to be working fine at my end using eSignal 10.2 and Excel 2002 (Office XP). Note that I added vEMA30 to the return statement to check that the values matched
Try running the Excel Sample sheet to make sure that DDE is actually functioning

Hi Alex,

You are right, the Excel Sample Worksheet doesn't work. I'm using MS Excel 2003 and eSignal Ver 10.2.1370.1350 (10/1/2008).

You may want to review the trobleshooting steps provided in this article on DDE in the eSignal KnowledgeBase.
If the problem still persists then you may want to contact eSignal's support (either directly or through LiveRep) so that they can assist you on this issue.
