    OneDrive has a setting that allows Office documents to be shared and co-edited by multiple users. That appears to be the setting (which is enabled by default) that prevents ACS from being able to connect to it. If you disable that setting, then ACS can find the Active Excel Spreadsheet.

    Bring up the settings for OneDrive:
    From Finder, right-click OneDrive and select settings.
    Select the Office tab.
    Uncheck the box that says "Use Office 2016 to sync Office files that I open"

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and would like to better understand the issue. Can you post more information about the problem as a comment here so others can see the details (rather than the PMR, which non-IBM people cannot access).

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/

    Additional information has been requested via PMR 42717,082,000 to determine why the aforementioned environments are having issues.
