Sounds like some sort of installation problem.

Did you keep or replace the previous version of Office when installing
2003?
What was the previous version?
If you try to create a new query from Excel 2003 specifying to edit
the
query in MSQuery at the end of the wizard, does MSQuery launch OK?

I run multiple copies of Office on my machine and about the only
problem I regularly encounter is with MSQuery where MSQuery seems not
to respond sometimes.

Have you tried running Help / Detect and Repair from Excel 2003?

I was running Office 2000.

2000 was uninstalled prior to the new installation.

This problem especially occurs when I go through the pivot table
wizard, get data option, in trying to modify the underlying query.
