Linking Access to DDE

[Ghost Train]

I am at the very basic level in programming in VBA. I need VB code to link an
Access database with a DDE from a stock website. Can anyone help?

What I said: find a stock website that presents data using a more
accessible/modern technology, such as Web Service.
