The *only* way I can think this might work is if the code that does the DDE operations is wrapped up in a COM object, then you can use the sp_OA system procedures to instantiate the COM object and call its methods. See Books Online for "sp_OACreate" and the other sp_OA methods for more info.

DDE and OLE pretty much died once MS went to the COM object model, since 1996 basically. What do you need to use DDE for?
