To fix the problem, we should do like this, and this is for Excel 2013 and Excel 2010:
- Click the File tab, and then click Options.
- Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the General area. (You need to scroll down quite a lot to see the General area)
- Click OK.

Don't work.
Solved the issue.....please read below and reply.
Method 1 – Check Shortcut to Program
The first thing to do is to check and make sure that the shortcut to the program like IE 9 or Excel is not being run as administrator. Right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Then go to the Compatibility tab and make sure the Run program as administrator box is not checked.
hi,
i just feel like to share what worked for me as this thing really annoyed me for several months.
i researched on several websites/sources and all the solutions i have come across do not work. such solutions include but are not limited to:
1) clearing of the checkbox of that DDE thing.
2) registry edit (too risky for non-savvy PC users like me)
3) unchecking of "run as administrator"
but just recently, i uninstalled a program called Tune Up utilities and then the annoying error was gone. so what i would suggest for others is to check which programs do you think are incompatible with your MS Office. then uninstall that (those) program (s).
hope that helps.
best,
filousophe
