One of my team mate working on the server where windows
server 2008 R2 was installed, he tried switching the view from standard to
datasheet and he got the following error:
The list cannot be displayed in DataSheet
view for one or more of the following reasons:
- A datasheet component compatible with
Miicrosoft Sharepoint Foundation is not installed.
- Your web browser does not support ActiveX
controls
- A component is not properly configured for
32- or 64-bit support.
If you are facing the above mentioned error message
then I would request you to check the installed office version first.
If you have any confusion as how to check the version
then please refer the following link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24259/beginner-discover-if-youre-running-the-32-or-64-bit-version-of-office-2010/
Why we are checking the office version? Is it
necessary?
Yes, it’s very necessary to know the office version we
are using whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit.
Microsoft strongly recommends the use of 32-bit (x86) versions
of Office 2010, Project 2010, and Visio 2010 applications as the default option
for all platforms.
Resolution:
Make
sure you use 32 bit version of office.
FAQ:
can we install 32 bit office on 64 bit OS? – Yes, absolutely no probs.
Once
you install the 32 bit office in such problematic scenarios then I am pretty
sure that your issue will be resolved. Thank you.
In
case of any issues/queries then please feel free to contact, I would be more
than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues.
