We have a problem that when Excel is just viewing a file and then closed without writing. The time and date are changed to the current time and date. I know this will happen when the file is written because of the way Microsoft does this, but when the file is just viewed and not written, I do not understand why the date and time are changed. Can anybody tell me why and is there any way to prevent this from happening. My Samba server is a SUN Ultra60, Solaris 8 and Samba 2.2.5. Thanks, Mike
