QueryPlus supports Microsoft Windows programs that can run with DDE. For this purpose, QueryPlus provides a number of DDE commands and query options. You can use DDE to activate the individual QueryPlus dialogs, to set QueryPlus options, and to query the results.
The distributed document templates ADABAS6.DOT and ADABAS7.DOT provide an easy link between ADABAS and Microsoft Word for Windows in its versions 6.0 and 7.0. The macro templates ADABAS5.XLA and ADABAS7.XLA serve to link Microsoft Excel to ADABAS. On the basis of the distributed example files ADABASX.DOT and ADABASX.XLM, you can develop your own concrete links for all programs that can run with DDE.
For a DDE dialog with QueryPlus, a special DDE cancel button~ 
~ was added in the toolbar. You can use this button to cancel any DDE dialog in any phase. In DDE
dialog, the buttons for terminating a dialog, such as Save or Close, are labeled Save DDE or Close DDE. These buttons terminate both the current SQL or Query
dialog and the DDE dialog.
In DDE dialog, each window containing a query result is provided with a button that allows you to transfer the result to the starting program. Thus results can be kept to be passed to a program in a later DDE dialog, if necessary.
