Thanks for this note. Updated this post

Is it because my publication was based on several blog posts and I forgot to update my post when found that error (post is dated Sep 2008, and error was found in March 2009 only)

Once again, the installation of Office Applications is NOT required for any functionality on the server with SharePoint.

This was covered in the SharePoint magazine article which was meant to be a draft, but here is an article stating exactly the same.

Installing office on a Server is not supported or recommended nor is it needed in any shape or form on the server!

It's behavior by design - you can't edit converted to XSLT data view in datasheet

Hi,

I converted a List view to an XSLT data view in SP Designer and lost "Edit in Datasheet" from the Actions bar.

Do you know how I can resolve this issue?

Hello

it will not show up if you have office 2003. you can get the service pack 3 for office 2003 which solves the problem partialy. you will be able to see the dataSheet in edit mode but some special columns will not appear they would only if you have access 2007 though most of the time lists don't have those special columns "holding media stuff and pictures"

cheers
