SYMPTOMS
When you try to generate a Report with the Microsoft Small Business Financial Manager for Microsoft Excel (SBFM), you may receive the following error message

No Files found in Report Template Directory. Please re-install

and you are not able to continue to make a report.

Also, if you try to perform a What-If analysis using SBFM, you may receive the following error message

Run-time error '76':

Path not found

and you are not able to continue to do the What-If analysis.



CAUSE
You may receive the error messages if your version of Microsoft Excel is being run from a network server.



RESOLUTION
The only workaround to this behavior is to do the following:


 * 1) Uninstall your "run from network server" installation of Microsoft Excel.
 * 2) Do a new local installation of Microsoft Excel.
 * 3) Run setup for SBFM and choose the Reinstall maintenance mode setup option.



STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Small Business Financial Manager for Microsoft Excel.
