Help setting up OPC topic link to Excel

[krakenfan69]

In reading how to set up a link to pull values from my plc into Excel I am seeing that I need to turn on DDE service in windows. I don't have that service as an option. Can anyone explain to me how to get that set up?

I'm running Win 7 Pro 32 bit and have just about every AB software imaginable on my laptop. My RSLogix is v 2.59.01. I'm really trying to connect to a ML 1400 with RSLogix 500 to practice pulling values into excel.

Thanks for any help,
