Solidworks/MS Office compatibility

[strobic]

So I upgraded to SW 09 x64 and now I am unable to insert an Excel Worksheet(I'm using Office 2003). I upgraded from the non-x64 SW08 where I was able to Insert...Object...Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet. But now I don't have any Office objects in the list. Does anyone know the reason behind this? Do I need to upgrade Office?

Office 2003 applications are only 32bit and altough they will run in a 64 environment they will not have OLE-compliance and so won't appear in the Insert Object dialog box. I understand from my VAR that Office 2007 takes care of this
