Morning, This is somewhat off topic. I've not thought of a better place to ask than here. I have a user on a Macbook (Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard) with Microsoft Office 2008 for the mac and Parallels running an image of Microsoft Windows XP Pro with Microsoft Office 2007. Inside Parallels and XP Pro the user can open a spreadsheet shared from a Windows Server 2003 box, and yet the user gets an error (read only, etc) when opening the same spreadsheet shared from the same server on the pure mac side in Microsoft Office 2008. Any idea what might be going on. The user is using a domain account from a samba PDC (ha, there's the samba reference) and I find no entries in the Event Viewer on the Windows 2003 server. Mike

Maybe they accidentally got connected as the guest user? I expect that you could verify this from the Windows serve console. -- James Peach | jorgar@gmail.com
