DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a technology that allows two computer programs to communicate and share data in real-time. Think of it as a conversation where one program can send updates directly to another without manual input, enabling synchronization. For example, a spreadsheet can automatically update its data when linked to a database. DDE helps automate tasks and ensures consistency across different applications, making workflows more efficient by allowing seamless and dynamic data sharing between programs during use.
