You have probably hit the Excel Access Link Patent infringement patch
It was installed with a patch to Office XP or Office  2003 SP2, last may??
I don't know if you can back out of this patch.
See explanation :

perhaps a workaround here to copy data back and forth via ADO
what you cannot do now is see instant changes in the xls and mdb
file simultaneously via links.
