Hello afl experts

Please help by giving some guidance to me a newbie to Amibroker

I read DDE help thing may be 20 times but get no where.

I have an excel file where I get live yahoo prices 
The data contains 
symbol, date time price volume
There are 4 symbols.
In DDE PLUGIN configure I selected Ticker-field mode
What should I write in each row in this plugin zone

My friend told me
just write EXCEL in DDE server area
THEN
in the rows below, I typed

(EXCEL)!($A$2)OPEN

WHERE A2 is cell in which open price numbers are present
but the plugin never read the data so far
It is a perennial wait. never ok Comes

How does the DDE recognise particular excel file and read the required cell address?
This part has become a dream unfulfilled to me
SEcond part
ok If i import the data somehow can I save the live quotes in Amibroker as they come for later use and reference?
say can i read 5 minute data and save it?
can i save tioiock data as it comes and read as 5 minute data?
I rember that dde plugin is so powerful that it can read upto 200 symbols with data
But the thing looks beyond my thinking.
Can i save yahoo live price etc as csv and make amibroker read and save?
the references on help area i read them but i reach no where.
stuck badly.
I used a separate database with tick,as advised
How to give coded direction to the plugin to read my excel file and particular cell?
I was told I have to name the cell.
I have two excel files
first one is pricedata.xls  second one yahoodata.xls
Into the yahoodata file I import prices as a table from my yahoo logged in portfolio

many thanks in advance
ford
