- When using the DDE Client driver to connect the server to a DDE application (such as when connecting to Microsoft Excel and reading data from a cell in a specific page of a spreadsheet)
- When using the Wonderware InTouch Client driver to connect directly to the Wonderware Tag Database to read and write data
