internet explorer / export to excel function

S

Support

I had a look on the IE newsgroup and someone had posted a similar question
and been directed here or the office newsgroup.
I have a user on w98 and office97 (thus excel 97) who does not have the
right click export to excel function in IE.
I have tried added the following reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\E&xport to
Microsoft Excel]
default ="res://C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office\EXCEL.EXE/3000"
"Contexts"=dword:00000001

but to no avail (well the function appears in the context menu but doesn't
do anything)
I suspect it's the software levels. Does anyone know a workaround other
than upgrading?
thanks

From Help in Excel XP for "Troubleshoot Excel and the Web":

"You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later if you
want to export data from your Web page. You can export only interactive
PivotTable lists and spreadsheets."

thanks but they are on IE6 so I knew it wasn't an ie thing. Having checked
the help in excel97, I can see that this is not possible with 97. Only with
2000+
