I have a site developed in Microsoft Office SharePoint server 2007 and I have installed Microsoft office 2010 on my machine. When I try to access excel file stored in document library. It gives me an error saying that it requires a Windows SharePoint Services compatible application.
It was working fine when I have Microsoft office 2007. So I am confused whether SharePoint is compatible with office 2010 or not…?
Thanks
Sachin
Yes it is compatible and it should work. A number of things could be going on.
The OWSSUPP.DLL may not be registered correctly.
You could register it manually or reinstall
If you have the 64 bit version of office there are some known issues opening data in SharePoint.

Windows SharePoint Services Support files may not be installed.
in this case install these through Add/Remove programs. It’s in the office tools section of the MS Office application.
If you have some applications that were part of Office 2003 or earlier you may need to uninstall them.
