How to turn on Inline Editing in SharePoint 2010

Datasheet View in SharePoint 2010 will not work when one of the below is true

• You are using 64bit Office (Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 are only x32 supported)
• You are using 64bit Internet Explorer
• A datasheet component compatible with SharePoint 2010 is not installed.
• Your browser does not support ActiveX controls.
• Certain libraries and lists do not support Datasheet view, such as a slide library, and therefore the Datasheet view command is dimmed.

As an alternative you can use Inline Editing

1. On the List tab, click Modify View.
2. On the Modify View page, scroll down and find the Inline Editing section.
3. Click the plus sign next to Inline Editing.
4. Select the Allow Inline Editing check box.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click OK.
