Hello, Eversince I upgraded Samba to 2.0 version I've gotten so many calls from the users regarding Excel 'save as HTML' problem. What seems to be happening is that the users cannot save their Excel spreadsheet as html file when they were able to with the previous Samba version we had installed (Samba 1.9.18p10). According to MS 'knowledge database', this is a known MS Excel problem that the HTML file cannot be saved onto the mounted volume (Ex. your home directory mounted on H:\ drive). However, I cannot think that this isn't Samba related issue since 'save as HTML' used to work with the Samba 1.9.18p10. Maybe what was broken in Samba 1.9.18p10 gotten fixed in Samba 2.0(and the entire problem lies on MS) or vise versa. Can any body shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance for any comments/feedbacks. -- --------------------------------------------------- Sunny Hwang Guzman -- ITS 1421 West Shure DR, Arlington Heights, IL. 60004 --------------------------------------------------- Phone: (847)632-3307 FAX: (847)632-6658 Pager: (888)SKY-8888 PIN: 1573737 E-mail: guzmans@cig.mot.com ---------------------------------------------------

I might suggest trying 2.0.3 just as a sample. -- Ben Kosse PC Support Specialist Coldwater Creek, Inc.
