Hi 
 

When we are try option export to spreadsheet from the below site, the following error displays


 " Cannot connect to the server at this time. Changes to your data cannot be saved" (messagebox it displays).



Note :  Not working on VISTA SP1-IE8 systems only, Same is working for production site, only dev site its not working, and also we dont have permission to edit in data sheet view.

Tried all mentioned workarounds in microsoft forum.

 Have checked in google still same result.
