The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32s, version 1.2

Network Dynamic Data Exchange (NetDDE) has limited support in Win32s. You can use DDE across the network, however the NDde APIs are not supported under Win32s and will not be supported in the future.

The NDde APIs, such as NDdeShareAdd(), are used to create the NetDDE shares, not for the actual communication. Therefore, to use NetDDE with Win32s, manually create the shares with the DDESHARE utility included in the Windows for Workgroups Resource Kit or by thunking to the 16-bit NDde APIs. Then communicate through DDE or DDEML.
