In sharepoint excel working fine in office 2007 but not in office 2010

We have recently started migrating users to Windows 7 Pro and Office 2010 RTM.  Upon our first try at opening a word or excel doc from a sharepoint site, we found that it gives us the option of Edit or Read Only (by the way, we are using IE8 as browser).  After clicking either option and clicking ok, the word or excel program launches, but all we end up with is just a blank shell of the program....no document or spreadsheet.  Any ideas ?  Is this a compatibility issue with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2007 ??

Has anyone else experience this issue:

Office 2010 is installed on a machine with IE7 running on it.

Explorer view within Sharepoint 2007 and IE7 works fine

Office 2010 requires a product key change from a temporary key from the initial install to a permenant key.

The permenant key is installed and suddenly Explorer view within Shrepoint stops working?

I have a SPF server that I recently upgraded from WSS 3 using the database attach method. The new server configuration is SQL 2008 R2 with SPF 2010 on Windows 2008 64bit SP2. Mostly things are working fairly well, though there have been a few fires to put out. The latest inflamation seems to be centered around ActiveX controls for Office 2007. I'm getting the following message whenever I try to create a new document using the New button: " 'New Document' requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser. To add a document to this document library, click the 'Upload Document' button." On the client side, the browser is IE8 on Windows 7 (Windows is 64bit, though the browser is in 32 bit mode.) using Office 2007. I've also had the same problem with systems running XP. In terms of troubleshooting, other activeX related features seem to be working fine. I can open datasheet views, if I click on a document, it will open in the appropriate client. However, I have some libraries where the Word document template opens the document information panel and those will give thhe following message on open: "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1)Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on thi page , or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the contols. As a result the page mi

Is it possible to save Office Word/Excel/Powerpoint 2007 to SharePoint sites directly from Office Clients? Following website helps with saving a Office 2010 document to SharePoint 2010, but how to do it with Office 2007? http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/save-a-document-to-sharepoint-from-office-2010-HA010380214.aspx  Kenny_I

I have succesfully saved Excel 2007 document  to the document library. I wonder if it is possible to define meta data with client? Otherwiser end-user need to anyway open the SharPoint library and add metadata information there.  Example metadata is like "category".   Kenny_I

Hi. I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise based Intranet solution. We are publishing office 2007 documents to various document libraries there. When uploading documents normally to the document library, I can enter managed metadata to the documents which are later sorted and filtered by this metadata. But how can I enter metadata at the point where I'm publishing the document(Publish->Document Management Server)? I can get the document management pane to show my metadata -column in word as a textbox after the document is published, but the textbox is colored grey and says that I should modify that data on the server i.e. from sharepoint.

I am finding that when there is a document library in SharePoint with checkin/checkout required, if a user with read-only ("Visitor") permissions opens a document from that library, the document will open as read-only in Word, Excel, etc., but the user will see the "Server Document" bar with the message "To modify this document, you must check it out" and the "check out" button.  When the user tries to check the document out, they are asked to authenticate, and then receive the error "Cannot perform this operation.  The file has been deleted or someone else has it checked out."    How is it possible to prevent a user with read-only rights in SharePoint from seeing the "Check out" option in Word or Excel?

I had no problem opening word and power point, but excel. it will giving me this error Error An unexpected error has occurred.   Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. Correlation ID: 06ebb5b3-d79a-4304-9709-11b4a6f55c57 Date and Time: 9/16/2010 6:08:19 PM I am pretty much done all the solution I can found on-line. anyone know how to fix this issue or it is the Bug that sharepoint 2010 have right now ?

Hi there,

 

 

The following error occurred within a SharePoint 2010 document library:

As I tried to test out the new SharePoint 2010 environment I changed the metadata from a few documents within a document library. I noticed that the data from the currency und number field was incorrect from a few documents. The numbers looked like that the decimal separator were ignored. For an example: 123.456,78 was saved as 12.345.678.

At first I thought it could be a language incompabilty but if that would be the case: Why would there be other documents which show the correct number?

 

I created another document library to recreate this error. And there I noticed the real reason: Every time I changed these fields from a document which was saved in the office 2007 format the error occurred. The metadata from the documents in the office 2003 format were correct.

 

Has anyone a similar problem or got an idea how to solve this problem?
