make Word look for xls db files, not doc files?

Is there a way to have Word 2000 default to look for xls files, not doc
files, when connecting a merge doc to its database?

I don't think so. I think you would have to bypass the normal method
altogether (not even reusing the Open Data Source dialog box) and write your
own VBA Userform to get the file details, then use OpenDataSource to open
the .xls.
