Can I get a little code example to use DDE as a server? I know how to use the client part, but can't figure setting up my app to act as a server and receive data.

Have a look in your Delphi installation for a folder called DDEDemo. It's a DDE project that Delphi use to ship with (I'm not 100% sure it's still included, but have a look). The demo includes a DDE client and server.

Edit - Try this link for some example code.
