The list is displayed in Standard view. It cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons: A datasheet component compatible with Windows SharePoint Services is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls, or support for ActiveX controls is disabled. Hey guys I have this showing up on my list that I can not see the Datasheet view. I have added sharepoint as a trusted site, enabled all my active x controls, I have update internet explorer 8, working on windows 7, and have installed office 7. I dont understand whats going on here. It works for the majority of our employees, but not all. Is there something I'm missing. I've googled the ____ out of this and have seen this issue being talked about around 2007 but nothing recently so im guessing there is an answer out there that I havent found. Please help

So I've been searching and adjusting and updating.... and I now have the datasheet view. This is how I got it. I am operating windows 7, IE8, and all Office 2007, NO 2003. I checked microsoft for all updates, I had to run this a couple times because it seemed that the first run of updates would trigger another run of updates and then another till there was no more. After this I switched from running Internet Explorer (64-bit) to Internet Explorer (32-bit). Presto. Pretty sure the datasheet view will not work on 64-bit. Wanted to post this because everyone elses problem seemed to be running a combo of Office 2003 and 2007 programs and my system was all current. Hope this helps someone!!!
