Hi Guys I want to say thanks all who have helped me so far. I have a situation where my users are locked out of the files they are working with. Sometimes data corruptions occur with excel, access and other files. When I even try to copy files from windows to samba server, sometimes I get this error "FILE PATH IS TO DEEP" and it locks that file. can only delete it form the server. Somebody help.
