cannot connect to "office outlook" with SharePoint Foundation

I have installed SharePoint 2010 and office 2010 in my machine. It is 开发者_如何学编程64-bit OS. I have created an external list in sharePoint. I want to export that list into office outlook. But "connect to outlook" icon is not greyed out. What is the problem?

According to this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx You have a few things you need to ensure. One is that you have to be using the 32bit browser on your x64 machine. Also I know there are problems with 64bit Office not shipping with the controls that support the browser-app integration. Lastly, the list that you are looking at has to be one that is appropriate to take offline to Outlook. Not all list types are connectable to Outlook.
