Hello, I am wondering if anyone else has had the problem that I am having. I
am using Sharepoint Services 3 as well as Excel 2003 and when I create a List
in Sharepoint with "Person" fields that show network user smart tags. I
attempt to export the list into Excel and when I do the "Person", Created By,
Modified By fields do not appear. I have asked colleagues of mine to attempt
the same using Excel 2007 and they are not having any missing columns as I
am. Can anyone help me out to find a workaround to my problem? Excel 2007
is not an option for my company at this stage but if there was some sort of
add-in or patch that is available, I would appreciate any info on it.

Thanks!!
 
I am having the same problem using MOSS and Excel 2003. I am told our
organization is not ready to upgrade our user community to Office 2007 which
would solve the problem. I would really like to see a workaround from MS, at
this point I am telling users to choose a single or multiple line text field
instead of the person or group field - this is not a good alternative but at
least they can export to excel and get the info they need.
