Good day,
i already ask this question last year then get a workaround for our issue, saving files locally to edit them.http://expresssupport.jetreports.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=344
Saving locally is a bit dangerous has if a user did not update the file on the network drive the second another user copy back the same report file locally then open it, it may be using an outdated version without the new formulas, links, values….We have face this situations several times.
The questions are :
Does the new versions since 15.1.15350 still have this issue?
Does a paid version will support network share ?
Can we use sharing alternatives like Dropbox, Onedrive, Sharepoint ?
Best regards,
Jean

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hello Jean,
Saving Jet reports to a network share is fully supported and always has been, regardless of version (Jet Express/Essentials/Professional).
It sounds like there may be an issue with one of a few things.
1) Different versions (32bit vs. 64bit) of Microsoft Windows that are installed on the computers accessing the reports and the Jet Add-In being referenced in different locations ("C:\Program Files (x86)\JetReports\JetReports.xlam" vs. "C:\Program Files\JetReports\JetReports.xlam")
2) Files are being saved in '.xls' format rather than '.xlsx' format.
3) Files are being created on an older version of Microsoft Office (2003) in '.xls' format on a 32bit Windows machine and then shared with users on a newer version of Office (2007-2016) and 64bit Windows.

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hello MWilson,
i just have a look at our setup and i have a PC with an Access 2003 runtime on it, our old accounting system was using it and it's still in production for that user. Knowing that office have shared libraries, does this 32-bit and 64-bit coexistence be a problem ?
Most of our issues are related when passing from design to refresh or refresh to design.
Sincerely,

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hello Jean,
Having Access 2003 on the machine shouldn't cause any problems.
I think your best bet is to ensure that reports are saved in Report Mode rather than in Design Mode as you shouldn't have any issues with the links upon opening at that point.
Best regards,
