I'm experimenting Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) between Paradox for Windows
and IDL for Windows 3.1.1. I have data stored in Paradox database format and
would like to transfer to IDL for plotting, curve fitting and many more. The IDL
function DDE_REQUEST returns only a single value of the fieldname instead of
a range of data.

For Example:
(Assuming weather.db is a table with 100 records and temperature
is one of the fieldnames)

IDL> print,dde_request('pdoxwin',':work:weather.db','temperature' )
;answer is : 80


I need to pass a full range of data or the entire table into IDL?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance ...
