Is it an electronically controlled transmission? If so, it may be a bad connection to the solenoids.

Ive had this happen in a couple different ways on my 92 Pontiac van. For awhile bad connections would keep it from going into OD or locking the TCC when the connections heated up. Then I had a bad ignition switch once, which the solenoid power runs through. Itd start and run, but put it in gear and it wouldnt move. The switch is actually going out again, I got a new one to put in this weekend probably.
