SharePoint - Export to Spreadsheet (excel) Not Work

Did you have a case where you wanted to work in Excel at sharepoint list view, but you had no some fields (like lookup field)?
Can not "Export to Spreadsheet"?

I had the case!
Two solutions:
1 - Install SPD (is free).
2 - Because not every time we run straight to install the SharePoint Designer.
The solution to install SharePoint.ExportDatabase activeX.

Here's how to install the activeX of the excel
Run from Address Bar this code

javascript: var x =new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.ExportDatabase");


Address bar
To see that it worked, do the following ...

1. Go to (from IE) tools -> Internet Option

Internet Option
2. Programs -> Manage add-ons

Manage add-ons
3. All add-ons

All add-ons
And see that ActiveX is enable :)

There are more activexs needed to operate the sharepoint
javascript: var x = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
javascript: var x = new ActiveXObject("ListNet.ListNet");
javascript: var x = new ActiveXObject("DiagramLaunch.DiagramLauncher");

If it does not help - you have to install SPD :(
Yours.

When you try to compile a project in visual studio and get this message The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters All you need is to correct an error that VS created (and I do not know how) He has written a number of times in the " Deployment Path " "$ SharePoint.Project.FileNameWithoutExtension $ _ $ SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension $" Instead of one in " Deployment Path " It should be like this "YourValue_ $ SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension $" Yours, Roi
