My team current uses a Sharepoint list to manage bugs, issues etc for the project.
I frequently use the “Export to Spreadsheet” feature in Sharepoint to manage the list from within Excel, where I can edit, update and sync at my leisure.

However, I just got given a shiny new PC, and now whenever I use this feature, the IssueID column disappears.

On my old PC, I get the following:

A     B     C
ID    ID    Title ..... etc
1     246   foo
2     258   bar
3     266   foobar

whereby column A would simply be an index of row numbers, and column B was the “true” IssueID.

On my new PC, I get the following

A     B     
ID    Title ..... etc
1     foo
2     bar
3     foobar

which means that I no longer have the corresponding unique ID for each line item – which is, frankly, useless !

Both of my PCs are Win XP, Excel 2003 and IE6 (i know, but it’s company policy), connecting to the same Sharepoint site.

Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong ?

Many thanks,

Andrew

    Out of frustration, I tried opening the Sharepoint site in Google Chrome browser, and clicking the link “Export to Spreadsheet” worked ! – So it’s probably fair to presume that there’s something off with my install of IE6 (no surprises there then)
