Default MM gives me a DDE link failed with my Excel doc over 3000 lines.

Mail Merge issue:
I am attempting to MM a word doc using an excel doc as my data source. I
keep getting a message that the DDE link could not be established. My excel
doc is over 3000 lines. Is there a limitation in MM that keeps giving me
this answer. I have split the excel doc in two and it still gives me the
same answer, but if I only use a 20 lines or so it works great.
What am I doing wrong?
