Close the sheet and open a new one (File->New). 3. Try to save the new sheet over the first one and Excel gives the error: "Cannot sav...

We've had a copy of Office2K at the office for months now, and I've been trying to get it to install from our Samba server. The server is a RedHat linux box running Samba 2.0.5a-1. I've tried it via UNC and mapping a drive, and I've tried all of the case mangling things that I can. It works just fine from NT4 SP...

Hello. I'm trying to install MS Office 2000 Small Bussiness (Polish version) with latest CVS wine. First I get a small message box that tells me, that my Windows Installator is being upgraded, then I get an error message, that could be roughly translated as: "Windows system Installer in this system has been upgraded. You have to restart system to finish this upgrade

I get the following error, this one is when I try to run Half-Life, and WinMM comes up again when I try to install Office2k. <snip> err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config file for the Wine multimedia modules.

Hi, I have succesfully installed word 2000 under wine on a suse 9.0 box. Now I want to install wordfast (http://www.wordfast.net) on top of it. Wordfast is a visual basic piece of software for word (basically ou install it by putting a .dot file into yout Office/Startup) which is essential for professional translators. This configuration is known to work using Cross-over. Now what happens

wineprefixcreate does not create a working registry. The system had a working set of .wine .reg files however installs of office2k failed. I then saved .wine and rebuilt it with wineprefixcreate. After this the original applications did not work. Is wineprefixcreate supposed to succeed at this? Thanks - Dan

...self. The second error shows up when I map a drive, and try to run setup from the mapped drive. The title bar is the same, the error says " LoadString() Error. Could not load string resource.

...ood idea to implement this extra level of protection but there is one thing to watch out for. The README says to veto the file "riched20.dll" (along with a few others). This is fine unless you are using your Samba box as an administrative installation point for OfficeXP (and most likely Office2K as well). Riched20.dll is included in Office and is required for most installations. If you want to use Samba for an Office admin install point, you'll have to let "riched20.dll" slide. Just figured i'd save some of you guys a few minutes of troubleshooting. VeKTeReX

Hi all, Have successfully installed Office2k. All programs start correctly, even if there is a message, that the Office Assistant didn't install correctly, but they run. Of course, i have some problems :-)) : 1. In Word, the text, i was typing, does not appear. In Excel and PowerPnt it does... 2. Neither Word, nor other Office application...

...es devmode = no ( also have tried devmode = yes ) Printing is fine from "Print test page" etc. HP5000 printer is used for testing. All settings,permissions etc. are remembered correctly. Questions: 1/ Is anyone else seeing this behavior (especially with Word2000/Office2K) 2/ I have a bad feeling about the OpLocks on the 2 driver files..is this normal? 3/ When there are ?Windows2000" as well as "Windows2000 and NT4" drivers how does Samba distinguish- or maybe it doesn't :-? 4/ How to force a download of a new version of driver fi...

I am just starting to migrate towards Linux (RedHat 7.1 Burned and one trial install on another machine went well). However I do alot of work for other companies on Office (EspeciallyExcel) (generally 2K) and would like to be able to do so without rebooting. AFAICT I have a few options. One is to have a dedicated windows box and use a program such as VNC or Exceed to view it (I don't like

...ls for 0.9. One problem remains unsolved: Whenever we start Word 2k, it states "Preparing installation..." and "Please wait till office completes the installation..". It does so and we have a working Word. But is it annoying that is done on every single start of Word. All other Office2k apps perform very well.

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

...ks do not > always work correctly. I'll see multiple requests for breaks without a > repsonse from the machine holding the lock. I'm CCing this to the samba@samba.org mailing list, as the team is watching out for incompatibilities with late-model MS products, including win2k and office2k. [paraphrase] The user in question often accesses the same file from any one of a pool of machines, and it looks like the hand-off from machine to machine isn't being dome cleanly. That makes me nervous... anyone know if this is likely to be an interaction with NFS??? > What I'm c...

Greetings, I am currently the IT Manager for a 30-person architectural firm. About 5 months ago we hired a new employee. He is quite good at what he does. He is also extremely opinionated, particularly when it comes to computer software, including server software. I'm running the office server functions on RedHat, Fedora and Trustix servers. He has managed to convince my boss that there

Hello, I tried this week to upgrade my samba 3.2.4 (2 PDCs one trusting the other) to samba 3.3.0 then samba 3.3.1, and apart from the problem with winbindd and trusted domain, my users are not able to modify any ms word document (excel does the same). You can open the file correctly, modify it, and when saving it, it pops up "Access denied" If you try to save the file in the same
