-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have a MS Access database stored on a Samba Server (1.9.18p8). I have the problem that two people cannot simultaneously access the file from Access (on their NT4.0 SP3 Workstations) - Access complains that the file is being used by someone else (which is true), but Access has the option of allowing multiple people to access a database simultaneously (I believe). When I store the file on an NT (4.0) workstation and share it the problem goes away. I would like to know how to make Samba behave the same as the NT share. Currently I have the following settings for the share (in smb.conf) [access] comment = Shared Access DB path = /home/access valid users = @access locking = no oplocks = false strict locking = no writable = yes printable = no I have played around a little with the locking parameters - locking, oplocks and strict locking to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated - please CC any replies directly to me as I am not on the samba list.
