Code: Private Sub gfdgfdfdg_Click() 'Create a DDE connection If Text1.LinkMode = vbNone Then Text1.LinkTopic = "mIRC\|COMMAND" 'Set link topic. Text1.LinkMode = vbLinkManual ' Set link mode. End If Text1.LinkExecute "/dde mirc command "" /echo -a %test" End Sub even tried changing it to $(%test, 0) - still no luck

Try this: Code: Private Sub gfdgfdfdg_Click() 'Create a DDE connection If Text1.LinkMode = vbNone Then Text1.LinkTopic = "mIRC\|COMMAND" 'Set link topic. Text1.LinkMode = vbLinkManual ' Set link mode. End If Text1.LinkExecute "/dde mirc command " & chr(34) & chr(34) & " /echo -a %test" End Sub By the way, I'd recommend sticking to one language, if you keep switching between different languages you won't get anywhere.
