Trouble with accessing Data Sheet View? Try this...

I was trying to use DataSheet view and I got this error message.

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 suport ActiveX controls
- A component is not propelry configured for 32- or 64-bit support.


What to do? Well, I sat here for a couple of hours trying to figure this out and I stumbled accross the "Access Data Engine" which is needed for the browser to show you information in datasheet view. 25 megs (roughly), but after the installation, restart your browser and all will work!
