Is there a way to lock an EXE file on a shared volumn in such a way that only one person can use it at a time? With some kind of sharing violation happening if a second person tries? This is the latest version of SAMBA on a Linux box, and Win95 clients. many thanks. Tony Nichols tnichols@bedford-ind.com.au Network Support Officer Bedford Industries South Australia.
