Default Word 2003 Mail Merge cannot open Excel 2003 document

I did save with a different name; saved as a csv; it tries to open the file
when I first do open data source and then it says cannot open source. I have
also tried copying the file and creating a new excel document with a new name
(which is what I had to do originally to make it work.) and now that wont
work either.

You may have tried these suggestions.
1. Save the Excel file again with a different name.
2. Save the Excel file as a c.s.v. file

At what point does it try to open the file, and what have you tried.

I use mail merge all of the time and am baffled by this one. I just did a
mail merge project where I merged data from an excel spreadsheet into a word
document. I need to create a new mail merge using a new word document and
the same spreadsheet and it comes up as if it is opening excel and than says
word cannot open document. I have tried everything I can possibly think of.
Any suggestions?
