A quick pop up says "Establishing connection to url..."

Then the Navigator window opens up with 2 tables to import. I choose Table 0. After I click Load..., I get this dialog box:

Initialization of the data source failed.

Check the database server or contact ...
Click to expand...

I tried to Google that message but I didn't see anything reliable.

Perhaps you have an inkling what is going on?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
