Can you try turning off all oplocks altogether. kernel oplocks level2 oplocks oplocks should all be no. Then see if you have the problem. They recently discovered another bug in oplock code which is due to be fixed in the next version. Pls. do provide an update. I am very interested in this issue.

Sanjiv, I just tried it again, with the changes you suggested, and the problem has not changed. Any other suggestions ? Can I send any more log files? Is there anything else I can show you to help identify the problem ?? Thanks for your interest in this. I do appreciate the help.

After much frustration, I am pleased to say that I have narrowed the problem I was experiencing to what I believe to be a bug in either the Microsoft Jet Engine, or Microsoft networking itself. I have found that if I move the database to a windows machine with a shared drive, I get the same error message. Therefore this proves that there is no problem with the samba server. I apologize for wasting all your time with this, when it was a bug in Microsoft's product all along. I should have checked the obvious before assuming the problem was more complex than it really was. So, I have concluded that Samba is working perfectly fine, and a much better product than anything Microsoft has ever produced.
