NAV2009 R2 Data Migration with Excel 2003

lang

hi folks!

i have a problem while exporting data through RIM/data migration to excel. My customer uses excel 2003.
The error message is: "Message for C / AL programmers: The call to member XmlMaps failed: (TBD) Nur XL XML Pro SKU!"

the last part of the message is german. I have no idea where it comes from and what it means. Is Excel 2003 supported with NAV2009 R2?

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried to export data to xml instead of xls?

I can feel it coming...

Currently I have no screen shot, sorry.
Its not the table structure what I expect, its only like hieroglyphics.

What could solve the problem?

I don't believe Office 2003 works with NAV2009 R2.

why not? in system requirements documents of microsoft it is named to work for outlook sync and budget export etc.

i have read that it could work in dependency of the office pack ( basic or professional). could that be?
XML features have been added to office 2003 but maybe only to professional edition?
