MT4 and DDE

I've got IBFX's MT4 and I can't get dde to work in Excel.

Standard format is: =MT4|BID!EURUSD, etc...
Where MT4 is name of program exporting dde.
I'm not sure if this name would describe ibfx's version of MT4...

I've already enabled dde in MT4 and turned on "Transition formula entry" in excel.

I've made this work before, but it was a long time ago. ;-)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Please tell me where could I turn "Transition formula entry" in excel?

In the MT4 you should set Tools/Options/Server Enable DEE server
