Nothing happens when using “Edit in Microsoft Excel” button in Sharepoint

microsoft excelsharepoint

The user is trying to edit a sharepoint document. It works on every other computer, just not on this particular one. All computers are running IE and Office. I'm used to seeing the "This document is locked out to.." error, but in this case nothing at all happens.

There is probably a problem with the ActiveX control provided by the Office client products that give this additional functionality. Try the following:

  1. If you have pre-Office 2007 products installed on the machine, run Setup and remove the Windows SharePoint Services Support component.
  2. For each Office 2007 product, run Setup and ensure the Windows SharePoint Services Support component is installed (under Office Tools).
  3. You may also need to Repair the Office 2007 product.
