Can you provide some further details?

Such as:
[ol]
[li]What version of SharePoint?[/li]
[li]What kind of list?[/li]
[li]What level access do you have to the list/page?[/li]
[li]Are you the designer of that site?[/li]
[li]If no to the last question: Do you know what the list is supposed to be?[/li]
[li]And if you're not the designer, have you talked to the designer/editor of that site?[/li]
[/ol]

In addition to that

What is the exact error you are getting?
What version of Office are you running?

Hi Guys

we are using version 2003
its a standard custom list
i have developer access (i can see in data view as can 40 other users (with read/write access) i have two whom can't)
I am the designer

error message

the list cannot be displayed in datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons A datasheet component with windows sharepoint services is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls or support for active x controls is disabled


we are running with office 2003 and outlook 2007

thanks

Have you checked the ActiveX settings in IE?

Have done all pc's have the same settings, this is what i find so odd

Well, something is different.

If the machines are all identical, have you tried logging in with the same user accounts? Perhaps it's a user account setting?
I mean Windows user account.
