Excel 97 worksheet with macros won't open in Excel 2000

[Marion]

I've got a workbook saved in Excel 97 that has some
embedded macros (not sure where-we don't really need
them). When trying to open from Excel 2000, get error
message "An error occurred while initializing the VBA
libraries (126)" and the workbook won't open. Any ideas on
how to make this work in 2000? Or maybe even find where
the macros are and get rid of them?
Thanks,
Marion
