No longer able to update data in linked Excel Files

HELP! I'm a Microsoft Office Professional 2003 user, and I've got a number
of databases that link to Excel files. They have always worked fine until
today, when all of a sudden I am no longer able to make changes from Access
in any linked Excel file. I haven't installed any new updates or programs,
and I've tried restarting Access, restarting my computer, and repairing
Microsoft Office, all to no avail. No matter what Access database I use, or
what Excel spreadsheet I use, Access simply won't allow me to update any data
on a linked Excel spreadsheet. Any ideas?

Thanks!
