risks and issues , the message says the windows sharepoint datasheet
component is not installed or the active x controls are disabled. I have

Can anybody provide assistance?

Hi Sim,
Here's the Requirements for Datasheet View (from help file)
"To open a list in Datasheet view, you must meet the following
requirements:
- Install Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 on your computer.
- Install the Microsoft Office List Datasheet Component that is included
with Office 2003 on your computer.
Note This component is installed by default when you install Office
2003.
- Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or
later to open the list.
- Make sure security settings in the browser support Microsoft ActiveX
controls.
If one or more of the above requirements are not met, you will see a
message indicating that the list will be displayed in Standard view. The
settings you specified for the Datasheet view, such as column order,
sorting and filtering, and Total row settings, will be applied to the
Standard view before the list is displayed. However, settings such as
row height, column width and hidden columns, will be ignored.
Note that even if you do not meet all of the above requirements, you
will be able to make changes to the Datasheet view. The changes will be
saved, and you will be able to see the effect of your changes the next
time you use a computer that meets all the software requirements listed
above. "
Good Luck
