#Datasheet View not working on #SharePoint 2010:


Recently I was struggling with Datasheet View, it was not working in SharePoint 2010 list for some reasons... 

The icon was enabled, but kept receiving the following message:


After struggling for a while I found that I was having Office 2010 x64 with IE x32 on my system. 
That means the datasheet view components weren't installed correctly. I need the x86 version of the components. In my case, I couldn't install  Microsoft Office Access database engine 2010 x86 version, as I have Office 2010 x64. So the option now is to have Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007 x86 instead.

If that is your case follow the link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=23734 pick the version suited to your IE version, install it and it should work.
