Importing Data From Share Point to Excel

[Guest]

Good Morning:

I am trying to import data from a contact list that I have in Share Point to
an Excel spreadsheet. However, I am receiving the following error message:
"Excel was unable to load a necessry component. This component might have
been damaged or deleted. Reinstall the client software or data source driver
software for your database."

Can you please assist me in correcting this issue? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Chris Z.

I just performed that task and it did not correct the problem.

Starting to struggle but if this transfer uses ODBC then check under control
panel that the driver is loaded or possibly even load it again.

If this fails try these kb articles and see if they apply

Thanks for the information, Nick. However, I am trying to import data INTO
Excel. These KB articles are related to importing into SharePoint from Excel.

The transfer does not use an ODBC driver.
