HELP-failure initiating DDE link with MS excel

D

Using MS office 2000 on Windows XP Pro
problem occurs in Word-tools-mail merge-create-form letter-active window-get
data-open data source- choose excel file which works on other comp, excel
starts doesn't load file and word status message at bottom of window reads
"initiating DDE link with MS excel". Word locks up, never returns, have to
end task. In excel check "ignore other applications" ok. tried
reinstall/add ODBC and Query. What's not installed properly or how get
excell to open file? Doesn't work either if file already open in excel or
excel even open.
