Visual Reports wont work with Excel 2003??

[Steve Scott]

On a client site, when they try to use Visual Reports from Project 2007 they
are then presented with an error message -" This operation requires that you
have Excel 2003 or later installed on your computer" even though they have at
least Excel 2003 running on their infrastructure. They are however trying
this through Terminal Services - does anyone have any ideas as to the cause
here?

thanks in advance

Project looks on the local machine for Excel. So you need Excel running and
available on the same terminal services server as Project.
