Why cant i open solidworks files on my lion server from a pc

Hello
I'm usuing a new mac mini with lion server as a file sharing server (smb) with multiple machines with both W7 and XP. My problem is accessing SolidWorks files from the PC. I can drag the files to the desktop and then they will open but if I try to open them from SolidWorks it doesn't work. It looks like other are having this problem with SolidWorks and office. It also looks like in the last update (10.7.3) they might have fixed the issues with office but I can't find anything about SolidWorks issues being solved. I didn't have this problem before when I was using an older mini server with snow leopard but ever since I have made the switch to a new machine with lion server I've had this problem.
I'd appreciate some help please...or where I should dig deeper.
Thanks for the help.

Notes

I found this on the official Solidworks site

  • Why cant I open PDF files? There's no pop-up asking me to type in my password?

    I have summer assignments that I have to download on my teacher's website. They're PDF files protected by a password.
    I have the password but once I download and try to open them, there is no pop-up asking me to type in the password.
    I cannot view the files without typing in the password but I cannot even get the pop-up like everyone else.
    I'm opening these files on the "Preview" app.
    Is there a solution to this? I tried searching for other apps in the app store that are free, but none of them work.

    Try installing Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website.

    What happens when you try? Have you saved to your computer and then tried to open it?

  • Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

    Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

    Why cant I preview Project files in Outlook 2013 ?

    Hello,
    Because there is no Outlook previewer available for MPP files. Typically Outlook only has previewers for default office applications.

  • When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?

    When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?  I already reset my phone and a week later they came back. 

    I download my pictures by:
    !) Connecting my iphone to he computer.
    2) It will open a window or I will go to my computer and select iphone device.
    3) Open up Iphone folders and download.
    When I do that, I see a windows icon, with what looks to be a hard drive.  And when I click on it, it leads me back to my desktop.  Right now, I only have one.  I know by tomorrow I will have more.  It just keeps spreading.
