Project Professional 2007

[Kasi]

Hi,

I have office 2003 on my machine. I installed Project professional 2007
which exists along with Project professional 2003.

Now I have a site developed on sharepoint 2007. After installation of
Project Professional 2007, all the datasheet views on sharepoint lists have
started to throw errors.

When I uninstall Project Professional 2007, I am able to see the datasheet
views again.

Would appreciate any help in this regard.

Many Thanks.
Kasi.

Ran into that same issue! The new version of Project pro is using an updated
version of office web components and its conflicting in your registry. I
haven't found an extremely clean work around just yet, but if you go to the
download center from microsoft at this URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2C-402E-4F72-97A5-E0FD290D4B76&displaylang=en

you can download and reinstall or fix your web components and that should do
the trick!

Interesting manifestation. The one I've been seeing results in IE crashing
every time you try to work with an Office object like a Word Doc or
Spreadsheet. You are both at least partially correct in your assumptions,
but what I believe is happening is that the OWC DLL on the client is
becoming corrupted. The cause has to do with running two versions of an
Office application on the client. The current cure is to delete the dll file
and run the Office Repair to restore it. This is most certainly a bug that
Microsoft will address, given that almost everyone who moves from Project
Server 2003 to 2007 will have to run both versions for a while.

Hi Gary, i actually have experienced both issues described below (IE crashes
on office objects and can't open datasheet view in Sharepoint) since I
installed OneNote 2007 into my Office 2003 environment. Uninstalling OneNote
2007 fixes it. I did find and rename OFFOWC.DLL (didn't find OWC.DLL) and
that actually fixed my datasheet problem but not my IE crashing issue. I did
notice that after running Office repair it did not replace (install) the
OFFOWC.DLL at all so I would surmise that might be my problem.

Does anyone have any insight into why repair may not have replaced the
OFFOWC.DLL?

Thanks,
Randal
