Hello All... I am not subscribed to the list.. please reply to me directly. Two different applications; MS Access and Quickbooks are either not closing their own files properly or are trying to close their files but it isn't happening in Samba. The effect is that even after a client closes the application the file still looks open and so no one else can access the file. Is this a known type of issue? Is there a way, scripts or anything, to clean up files that are left open? I've tried everything I know. Thanks in advance, Jesse London -- Jesse London ConsulTrain, LLC http://www.consultnc.com
