Excel 2016 on Windows 10 using Parallels - Run-time error '53' File not found

[dpilr]

Hey Guys! 1st Time Posting!

An employee who works with me built some quoting software for us years ago and it will successfully save quotes on either Windows or Mac, but cannot save in Parallels using Windows 10/Excel 2016. We have it setup to access our local server for the next quote # and save into the selected customers folder on our local server. I am doubtful this will ever work because of Parallels causing the confusion, but thought I would see what you guys thought! I get the Run-time error '53' File not found below when trying to save and when I debug, below is the vba error or whatever it is called.

Re: PLEASE HELP! Excel 2016 on Windows 10 using Parallels - Run-time error '53' File not found

Ok... so we had to enable SNB1 through Windows 10 because our local server is older. We mapped the server directly to the virtual Windows 10 machine. The excel file actually saved once onto our local server with the correct quote # and into the correct customer folder, but that is it. We cannot get it to save correctly again..? Back to getting the run-time error 53.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: PLEASE HELP! Excel 2016 on Windows 10 using Parallels - Run-time error '53' File not found

The issue seems to be that you cannot use any sort of shortcuts when opening the actual file on the local server. You have to open Excel 1st, then browse and open the file through Excel. Not ideal, but works for me!!!

Hope this helps someone else!
