Datasheet View Does Not Work in SharePoint 2010

This is a known and personally experienced issue (Tech Preview and Beta Builds as well) with Datasheet View not working in SharePoint if you have Office 2010×64 clients installed on your workstation.

Again this is one of the FAQ on the MSDN Forums and today I saw the solution posted on the thread, so comes this post for my reference and in case you experience this, then you know what is the solution to the issue.

SharePoint Error – Unable to update the information in the Microsoft Office document

Today I received a call from one of my clients requesting help with a SharePoint error.

The client had uploaded an Excel spreadsheet and when trying to update the properties of the document, SharePoint displayed this error “Unable to update the information in the Microsoft Office document”.

Outgoing email issue resolved

Situation

  • New SharePoint deployment.
  • Outsourced IT operations.

Problem

SharePoint alerts not working for users.

Cause

Outgoing email address is configured to support@serviceproviders.email. This mailbox is not configured on local SMTP server (Exchange 2003). Hence cannot send email via Exchange as open relay is turned off; as it should be.

Solution

Outgoing email address should be configured to local.user@mycompany.com -an active local mailbox. Test that you can access local.user mailbox either through Outlook Web Access or Outlook client.
