ACE2023 having problems with linked tables (Excel)

I recently had IT replace Office 32 bit with 64 bit so that AutoCAD Electrical 2023 could install. Now when I want to link a table in ACE2023 is comes up with this problem. I've had IT go through everything listed in the link above but the problem still persists. They are telling me to contact Autodesk support for help.

Anyone have any ideas to try?

That's the reason you see what you see: why did you opt to do that if I may ask?

Autodesk has this posted for things to try, its a long list to fix your software changes https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-using-Datalink-in-AutoCAD-cannot-add-link-because-excel-cannot-be-found.html

The apparent fix to get ACE2023 up and running was to replace Office 32 with 64, and this did work to allow for installation.

@jonathan.kosut yes, I just saw another post about that ACADE requirement (or are you both in the same office and asking about the same thing)?

No, different problem. ACE2023 is installed now. The new problem is detailed above.
