FYI. Here is how RTD works in Excel...

RTD

Retrieves real-time data from a program that supports COM automation (COM add-in: A supplemental program that extends the capabilities of a Microsoft Office program by adding custom commands and specialized features. COM add-ins can run in one or more Office programs. COM add-ins use the file name extension .dll or .exe.).


Syntax

=RTD(ProgID,server,topic1,[topic2],...)

ProgID: the name of the ProgID of a registered COM automation add-in (add-in: A supplemental program that adds custom commands or custom features to Microsoft Office.) that has been installed on the local computer. Enclose the name in quotation marks.

server: name of the server where the add-in should be run. If there is no server, and the program is run locally, leave the argument blank. Otherwise, enter quotation marks ("") around the server name. When using RTD within Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (VBA: A macro-language version of Microsoft Visual Basic that is used to program Windows applications and is included with several Microsoft applications.), double quotation marks or the VBA NullString property are required for the server, even if the server is running locally.

topic1, topic2,... 1 to 28 parameters that together represent a unique piece of real-time data.


Remarks

The RTD COM automation add-in must be created and registered on a local computer. If you haven't installed a real-time data server, you will get an error message in a cell when you try to use the RTD function.

When the server has been programmed to continually update results, unlike other functions, RTD formulas will change when Microsoft Excel is in automatic calculation mode.


Example

=RTD("MyComAddIn.Progid",,"LOREM_IPSUM","Price")

Happy New Year!

May God bless and flourish all his children in 2007 and thereafter.

I received the same card. I think they got my name and address from my AmeriTrade account.

Yes I agree. I am a newbie and because of JLT and Americanos' pumping bought at 0.04's back in March. I am sitting with a major loss. I learned my lesson!! Just ignore those guys and do your own DD.
