Oh, or that the macro in the workbook isn’t using an ODBC datasource that’s local to the machine running Excel 2000.  Also, if that’s not the case, check the connection string to the SQL Server in the macro.  If it’s using a trusted connection to the SQL Server, then (again) make sure the appropriate permissions are set up for accessing the SQL Server from that system.
