Valuable
suggestion from George Melnic:-
Thank you once again!
For Datasheet view, installing the AccessDatabaseEngine
from Microsoft can actually solve the issue for both 32 and 64 bits IE versions
(I am on IE 8 64 bits), this can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Thank you once again!

would like to request you if you have any different resolution apart from the
