I am using both Excel and Origin, I need to start intergrating data into Origin specifily be able to make graphs utilizing Origin. I need to be able to use the realtime data and started using "paste link". When I use the "paste link" function it is essential creating a DDE connection to excel which is fine. My first issue is that ever time I open the project it asks to I want to start the DDE connection, I want Origin to automaticly connect without asking? 2nd issue is that after it asks me if I want to start the DDE link I get the following prompt "Remote data not accessible. Start Application Excel" excel never launches and then I get the error "linking failed, most likely due to problem in topic". Please advise.
