Running: Parallels desktop v4.0 for Mac (Build 4.0.3844). Windows 7 (release candidate). Quickbooks 2009 Pro (R5) windows version running in VM, not a Mac program. Shared all all Mac disks with VM. Shared disk appears in windows explorer as 'Host on '.psf' (W '.

When I try to open company file in my user directory of this shared disk Quickbooks gives me a warning window reading: Error: -6176, 0 Quickbooks cannot get the network address of the server. Quickbooks obviously seems to think this is a mapped network drive on another PC. I have opened and used this same company file on this same pc using this exact same setup with one exception, running Windows Vista instead of Windows 7. Anyone have any idea why Quickbooks suddenly thinks this is a networked drive in Windows 7? Any clues or pointers would be appreciated.

Just to confirm the same problem here. Quicken has no problems at all.

QuickBooks, however, cannot use files on a shared Mac folder (Parallels share) with a Windows 7 VM. I'm in Parallels 5 at this point, and Snow Leopard 10.6.1 I verified that this problem exists with Win 7 exists with QB Pro 2008 and QB Premier Accountant 2010. There is no problem at all with an XP Pro SP3 VM. The QB data is accessed just fine from a shared Mac folder.

Moreover, the software Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003 & 2000. Stellar Data Recovery Professional for Mac Stellar Data Recovery for Mac program performs safe. Automatically Back Up File. QuickBooks has two automatic methods to back up your file. The first method creates a backup file each time you close the file. You set the frequency of how often QuickBooks creates the backup. QuickBooks stores this backup file on your hard drive under the QuickBooks directory in a folder named 'Auto Backup'.

The speed of this software is too quick you can easily and transfer data. Paragon ntfs for mac serial 15.

So, no question in my mind after hours of trying all kinds of things that this is something related to Win 7, or the way Win 7 and Parallels sharing interact. (I did try turning off my firewall entirely in case something was up there, too.) My workaround for now, which might help others is less than ideal, but provides data safety: Quickbooks WILL create backups (qbb) on a network share, so: 1. Copy the QB data files to your Windows VM Documents folder and access them there.

QB runs fine locally. Set up QB backups so that a backup is saved to your network share (on the Mac side - so Time Machine will back it up) and that you are asked to backup every time you exit QB (set time to ask to '1').

Further, uncheck the option to append the time/date to the backup file - so that each backup will have the same name. This way, Time Machine will be able to consolidate weekly and monthly copies of the file. If each had its own name, then eventually every backup created every time you exit QB will end up on your TM drive. Exiting QB now will have the hassle of responding to prompts to do the backup, and a small (to large) delay while the file is created. Also, with this workaround, you will only have a backup on the mac side when you exit QB.
