I'm trying to access an olap cube using excel, and when I manage the connection in excel using http, I get the following error after trying to connect:

Event Type:	Error

I haven't been able to find anything on this site, or microsoft's with regards to this error.

Any ideas?

I guess you are using the CUBEANALYSIS in EXCEL. Did you tried to use the connection using server?

Hi, I found the solution to my question. Actually, I thought I had done this already but I guess I must have missed it. I didn't install msxml 6.0 or oledb provider 9.0 prior to installing the cube analysis program...
