We are testing a basic setup using samba 2.0.6 from the SuSE Linux distribution (Ver. 6.3). Copy files and working (loading & saving files) with MS Word and other applications on the fileshare works well. With Excel 97 SP2 running on NT4.0 SP5 we have the following problem : Open the file first time -> o.k. Save the file first time -> o.k. Open the same file again -> o.k. Save the same file again -> Excel claims no write permission or loosing the Network connect>From this point any other application connecting the samba share areblocked too. We have reduced the test to one single machine connecting the samba server and still have the problem that we can't save an Excel file for the second time ??? I have tried to set the following parameters but none solved the problem : strict locking = yes blocking locks = no oplocks = no Could anybody give a hint what's going wrong? Thanxs Andreas

Try upgrading. I've only seen this problem when the buggy Inoculan virus scanner tried to access files with the wrong TID. (I'd appreciate if anyone could help me get thru Inoculan "support", anyway.)
