Hello all, My network users are receiving an error when they try to save changes to an execl file that is stored in a samba share. The error is "The file filename.xls may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do? save a copy or Overwrite changes. Now they can all read and write to this share and it only happens with excel files so far. Word docs and others saves do not generate this error. Now Microsoft claims this is a feature but I have not been able to generate it with a peer to peer share I have setup between two winxp machines. It only happens when they try to save to any share on the samba domain. This server is running RH9 with samba 2.2.7a. The clients are winXP Pro Srv2 with MS office/Excel 2002. Is this a known issue with this old version of samba? Is this a samba issue? If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you need any more info on the setup please let me know. Thanks all Dominic Iadicicco South Country Library Bellport NY

Has to do with network and filesystem latency issues with excel timestamp checking. Regards, Doug
Hello, I gave that a try an no success. Maybe the permissions that are already on the files are causing problems too. I ll check it out some more and if I come up with anything I will post back. Anyway thanks for the info.

Hello, I?ve had the same problem... try using force security mode = 0660 (of course you can change the 0660 as you need) It worked for me !
