When I open a file (Word doc in this case) on a share I have marked as read-only and the do a "SaveAs" to a share that has a "force create mode = 0775", I would expect the file created to be writable by user/group. But the permissions I get are 666. I can't get the "write" permission to show up. If I copy the same file using windows Explorer, it is creatred correctly. I tried to open a .txt file from a cdrom drive and "SaveAs". This worked as expected? Is this the way it is supposed to work? Is it MSWord at fault? -mjm -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
