Communicating in background - DDE?

[Fuga]

I have a db that uses sendkeys to fetch data from the internet.

So far, it´s been working ok, but now I´m going to include some more data.

My idea is this:

I´ll have some 5-10 windows of explorer running (apart from the one I want to use normally). Every 2 minutes I want the db to go through them, saving the data. Since this occures quite frequently and the user might be doing something else, this could get very annoying.

For this reason, I need to be able to save data from application windows without setting focus to them, sort of in the background. How do I do this?

Fuga.

IE can not work as a DDE server, you need to use the OLE object model(see IE documentation on www.microsoft.com) to access to its functions.
