Cooked ham will eventually go bad. Spoilage can only be delayed. Within an hour or two of cooking, separate the ham into smaller portions that will cool quickly. Then wrap and refrigerate. Plan to use it within 5-7 days.
If more storage time is needed, the ham could possibly be frozen - but not all types of ham freeze well.
The way to know if cooked ham is bad is by how long it has been in the fridge or freezer. In the fridge, cooked ham can last 7 to 10 days. In the freezer, it will last 6 to 8 months. Cooked ham that is bad will also develop a bad smell and may appear slimy to the touch.
An unopened, cooked ham should be good refrigerated for 5 to 7 days.
Diced is to cut into cubes hence the name dice like the dice you would use to play a game with. Chopped is finely cut into pieces.

Ham can be cooked in a microwave. It can also be cooked in a slow cooker or a frying pan.
As long as it is in a sealed container and the refrigerator is set to 39 degrees (the optimum temperature), cooked meats such as ham will stay fresh for up to 10 days or so. However, the presence of any unusual odor when you open the container, or any mold or growth on any food indicates that it is spoiled and should be discarded. In my house, these are referred to as "science experiments".
It is not good practice to keep cooked meats frozen for long, but I'd say you should be fine up to a week or 2.
Yes, you can safely freeze soup that contains cooked ham.
