Default Mailmerge and Access

Hello, I am running WinXP SP2 and recently upgraded from Office XP to 2003. I
have installed current Office and OS service packs. I have noticed a problem
using mailmerge and cannot find a fix. I open a new Word doc. and start
mailmerge, when I select my document and the prompt asks 'Select Recipients',
I browse to the xls file with that data and it appears that Word is
attempting to connect to an Access db. I am presented with a login / password
dialog box (which if I cancel and after a few error boxes will get me to
mailmerge) I've never ever used Access on this machine. I have tried this on
another machine and the mailmerge works as expected (no errors)
Any idea why I am being prompted for this Access db?
