Back Door will NOT open!

Back Door will NOT open!
Don't know what is going on. It is a '99 Disco 2. It was working just fine and now it does not. You can hear the lock actuate with the remote. The outside handle feels like it does not depress quite all the way, and the interior handle seems to go to end of travel freely - no resistance at all. I suspect it has to be the latch mechanism itself, because I can hear the lock working, and I would think if it were a handle, that one or the other would still work. I tried everything I could think of, pushing from outside to make sure it was latched all the way, pushing from inside - seemed fruitless since the handle appeared to do nothing.
So - Is this a common problem? how do you get into that door if you cannot get it open? all of those interior panels look suspiciously like you need the door open to get into them!
HELP!!! I imagine this would be a BIG bill at the dealership.
Any and all advice appreciated.

It was the exterior Handle
Special thanks to Disco Mike! You rule! Thanks to all the other who chimed in as well. I used some spray grease I had on hand to free it up. Now good to go! lso sold th Blazer, and got the pick up running. All I need to do is find the leak and it will be a quite successful few days! It is a D2. I have ammended my signature in order to prevent this debate in the future.

I have the same problem! I had just started to drive and the inside light was on. I had my son open and close the pasenger door and all was fine. When we got home we could not get the door open. Nothing I do helps. Somebody, anybody help!!
