Getting "Export to Excel" to display in a context menu.

Hi

Maybe it is the version of IE that is the cause?

We have a software package that uses a web control that customer orders
are
inserted into in the form of a table. Some of our office PC's display an
Export to Excel menu item in the context menu of the web control, while
others do not. We use versions of Office from 97 to 2003 and this is
consistant across the different versions. We are trying to place
instructions in our software's help file on how to get the Export to Excel
context menu item to display so our customers can set it up themselves.

I have spent close to two days going over the Excel help file and the
Office
web site and Knowledge Base with no luck. I have tried going back through
a
few months worth of postings on the newsgroups and did not find anyone
else
with this question. We looked at the possibility that it could be an
Internet Explorer setting, but that did not turn up anything positive. We
also thought that it may be the way Office is installed (Standard
installation vs Customized) and that hasn't turned up anything either. I
thought I would try posting before I ask for approval to call Micro$oft
for
a support call.

Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks
John

Doesn't matter about the IE version. The problem is true if using IE 5.x or
6.x.
