    Hi,

    How can we get rid of this error : A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document ?

    NB : Excel 2010 is well installed.

    thanks

    Paul,

    Yes, another repair of Office 2010 resolved the issue again. And now it seems more stable : this morning my SharePoint OpenDocument Class add-ons were still here.

    Hi there,

    Do you have Microsoft SharePoint Foundation support feature installed for office on that machine?

    Thanks

    Hi Paul,

    Microsoft SharePoint Foundation support feature has been installed because my reports worked fine in Excel for several weeks.

    How can I check that Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is still there?

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    On the client machine for office 2010, access the control panel > Programs and features > select Sffice 2010 > click Change > Add or remove features > scroll down to Office Tools and check that the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support is enabled.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Thanks a lot Paul,

    So, I checked that Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support is actually enabled.

    Are you using the 32 bit version of Internet Explorer?

    I'm using the IE which comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit, so I think that it is 64 bit too.

    Disappointement!

    I'm working on a test environment installed on a laptop. So this morning I restarted the machine and... I get the same error : A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found...

    And I check: in the Manage Add-ons page of IE, the SharePoint OpenDocument Class add-ons are gone... 

    How can we keep these settings stable?

    Thanks for any idea.

    If you do another repair of office 2010, does this resolve the issue again?

    Thanks
