DDEExecute issues a command to the Server app that the server app understands. I don't think that there is a DDEExecute needed to send all the info over there, but there might be one needed to 'save' it. This could explain why all the commands return success codes and then I can't find the entries: maybe they are being sent but not saved. The doc says nothing about any such command, but it is the best guess I have so far.
