Problem with datasheet & 64-bit installations

Once you have installed a 64-bit installation of Office, SharePoint datasheet views can't be used any longer. It's related to the ActiveX component only being compatible for 32-bit systems and not for 64-bit installations. Please refer to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/9eb920ba-1a02-4f0c-ae08-6e808e0269c4/?prof=required for a complete thread, I wanted to share this here because you Office guys might have some more detail on this (we hope). Should be fixed on short notice if you ask me, it's blocking me from rolling out Office 2010

Create Views for special user (groups)

Hi NG, I try to generate a list, which shows some data. In list, should be data from every user, but some users are in different teams. So we create views, which shows only the data from the user. This all works fine. Now I will generate a View for the managers, which shows all data in the list. This also works fine, but my problem is: All useres can select this view. Is there any way to set permission to the special view? Thanks, Andre

Newbie question about various forms options

Hi, Very new to sharepoint. I've been tasked with trying to use one list for PTO requests. While the PTO request is being made in a new record in the list we'd like certain fields to be enterable and visible. If the user wants to go to the same record after approval and cancel the PTO request, we'd like another set of fields to be available to the user. What I've found is that I am inundated with various options fo this. Liveform (a 3rd party tool), swapping list views (seemingly the easiest since it's a native sharepoint solution), creating custom aspx pages, infopath, e

Problem with "Edit in Microsoft Office Project"

We have SharePoint 2007 implemented, and I am using MSO Project 2007. I have a document library in which I store a number of project documents, including the schedule. When I go to this document library and select "Edit in Microsoft Office Project", the file opens, but it always opens in Read Only mode. The only way I can open the file and have it editable is to check it out first, then select "Edit in Microsoft Office Project". And no, the document library is not configured to require check out. Any idea why this is?

Hi NG, We've got a little problem with outer Sharepoint 2010 RTM Server. Some user couldn't Copy Data in the Site Content. It's only a Problem in this Webpart/Control.

Word 2003 docs open in Internet Explorer - inconsistent menus, MOSS 2007

When a user clicks a link to a Word (2003) document, it opens in the browser (IE7). For some users, the Edit, Insert, Format, Tools, and Table don't work, although the File, GoTo, Favorites, and Help do. They aren't disabled exactly, but there are no dropdown options. We can still turn on the Document Tool bar, and all of those options work. I can't figure out what is controlling those menu items. I've looked under the File Types settings in Explorer for Doc files, and through the IE settings. It seems to have nothing to do with SharePoint privileges for the document since I have
