Default Word Merge Connection to Excel failing

In mail merge, when I attempt to select the excel file, it brings up a window
called "Data Link Properties." It automatically selects "Microsoft Jet 4.0
OLE DB Provider." When I click "test connection" it gives the message "Test
connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Catastrophic
failure." This causes word to shut down.




Any HELP would be GREAT!

THx
Russ
