Author RE: Error connecting to a SQL 2005 (June CTP) Cube using Excel 200

In my case I had installed Office after the SQL 2005 CTP install. This made
the 8.0 provider (MSOLAP.2) the default MSOLAP provider. In order for Excel
connectivity to AS 2005 to work correctly, MSOLAP.3 (msolap90.dll) needed to
be the default provider.

The solution that worked for me was to re-register "C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\Ole DB\msolap90.dll".
