Subject:      Reading dates from Excel97 (DDE)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

How do I read dates using DDE from an Excel 97 worksheet.

I can read other types, but all I get is invalid data when I try to read
a date.

The dates are Excel date format.  I gather that the informat is
datetime18.  but this doesn't seem to help

any thoughts, code examples...
