Default Opening Existing Data Source in Excel

I am using Windows XP, MS Word 2002 and MS Excel 2002. I am now having
problem with opening my data source in Excel.

When I try to open my Word Main Document, a dialog box opens with this
prompt " Master Purchase Requisition.doc is a mail merge maind document. Word
cannot fints its data source, C:\...\DataForPurchaseRequisition.xls."

When I click the "Find Data Source" button of the above dialog box, another
dialog box entitled "Select Table" appears. I navigated this second dialog
box until I find the relevant Excel Spreadsheet and then click "OK".

After this, however, the first dialog box re-surfaces. I repeated the whole
process and sometimes, another dialog box with the prompt "Word cannot open
the data source" would pop-up.

I hope someone will be able to help me with this.

Thank you very much.
