Office 2007 & Reporting Support

I'm sure someone else has run into this as well... but with the release of Office 2007, MS no longer produced any type of Office Web Components. Office 2003 was the last released version to ship with an OWC install.

And as we all know, these are necessary to run reports and use a lot of the advanced controls like pivot tables etc.

Well good news. The OWC from Office 2003 can be installed without issue with Office 2007 and still allow all the functions for web based reporting to work.

If you are interested in a deeper dive on the roadmap for MS web based support is right here...
