Export to Excel
What happens when you click OK on this dialog? It should start downloading the file.
Despite the error message, you still get this *.iqy file which you can then open with Excel, and use Save As function to save it in excel format. But this a workaround, it works for us, IT people. This is not a good workaround for end users. And defiantly not a solution, for a pay'd software.
It's not a workaround, you are downloading a connection file to your SfarePoint Library, not an Excel workbook.
For me, it is a workaround as long as it is not "normal behavior". Export to Excel should open Microsoft Excel on the local machine. This should go smoothly without any extra knowledge being required.
As stated before: end-users expect a straight forward action.
