SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel for Windows, if you are using PC-NFS version 5.0 real- mode drivers, and you attempt to create a reference in a Visual Basic module (on the Tools menu, click References), you may receive the following error message:

Path Not Found Error 76



CAUSE
This problem occurs because PC-NFS version 5.0 real mode drivers remap the local hard disk such that "C" is no longer a valid drive (they convert the C drive into a network resource). The problem with this remapping is that the pointers in the registration database point to C, and, because of the remapping, the applications are unable to find a C drive when they are run. The PC-NFS drivers are then unable to handle the request for the necessary files.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, upgrade to either of the following drivers:


 * PC-NFS version 5.1a or later -or-


 * PC-NFS Pro version 1.1 or later
