Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
I have installed sp1 on the server, and verified that both my dev
environment and server are running version 8.00.878.00. Also, the excel
export does work, when the user chooses to save the file and then open it
(office 2000). It only fails when they try to open the exported chart
directly from the dialog that says "You are downloading the file ... Would
you like to open the file or save it to your computer ...". And it only
happens when to office 2000 or less users.
After installing sp1 on the server, I did not reboot or anything, but
confirmed that the version matched my dev environment that also has sp1.
Should I create the report from scratch or are there files/timestamps I
should be looking for on the server related to the renderer/exporter?
Thanks,
JeffW
