similar to: Excel 2000 saving problem

I have a couple users, in a new install of a samba file server on CentOS 4.2, who are being prompted to overwrite the existing file when in MS-Excel and simply saving the active spreadsheet. Normally, File--Save (or just clicking on the disk icon) for an already saved file will re-save the file without prompting to overwrite. I have my doubts about whether this could be a server-side issue, and

Hello, Eversince I upgraded Samba to 2.0 version I've gotten so many calls from the users regarding Excel 'save as HTML' problem. What seems to be happening is that the users cannot save their Excel spreadsheet as html file when they were able to with the previous Samba version we had installed (Samba 1.9.18p10). According to MS 'knowledge database', this is a known MS Excel

Hi all, I've done a brief search of the list archieves and cannot find any solutions to this problem, so I'll post my story and hopefuly someone will have a better answer. Brief Description: This problem has now occured with a number of users, running different versions of Office (see below). When saving documents, Office seems to set the read-only bit. The problem is best shown with

Nathan, Thanks for the tips. Most of these settings were already in place, but the ones that were not already there I set up, with the exception of the 'force group' setting. I hesitate to try this simply because many of the subfolders under the shared volume are have their access controlled by group, and I didn't want to risk preventing others from accessing their files in the middle

Hi I am using package RODBC version 1.0-1 under R version 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. I am having problems writing a new table to an (Excel) database using sqlSave. I connect to an empty Excel spreadsheet using odbcConnectExcel (which, I believe, uses the Microsoft Excel Driver DSN). Then I try and save a new table to the database(spreadsheet) using SqlSave, but obtain an error message. Below is

Hello, I have problem of saving Excel file on Samba share. After saving Excel file, it cannot save to the share any more. And also I got following message like: "The file was saved successfully, but saved file cannot re-open because of not enough memory available. Please close the file." I got this problem for Excel file only, other file e.g. Word file can save fine. The version of

I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0, but I have had to revert back to 1.9.18p10 because of problems I could not resolve. I am running Samba on a Sun Ultra-1 with Solaris 2.6, and I compiled Samba using gcc v2.8.1. The problems I was seeing were with saving Excel files. A user might have a small Excel file and try to save it to their home directory. The save would work for a long time (5 to 10

Hi all, I have a dataframe call "data", and have lots of rows. One of them is data$`birth` my data has been imported from an excel file in RSTUDIO I want to obtain in a function all rows (with the names) where data$`birth` is bigger than 1979/01/01 and extract in a excel file as an output (a sub-excel of the original). Can you guide with the functions I need to use? I have been many

Hey all, We're having some trouble saving Excel documents on our Samba Fileserver. We are moving people over to our Samba box, and have moved most of our documents over. Now, we have people opening their Excel documents, but are unable to save them. When something is saved, we see this message: Your changes could not be saved to 'document.xls', but were saved to a temporary document

It's an odd network, but it's 2 separate, somewhat related companies on one subnet for shared printers, etc. I am a computer consultant, but am pretty new to Linux/Samba. The first company has a newly installed server with CentOS 3.3 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.3), running Samba 3.0.11. The second company has a Windows 98 "server" on it, which should eventually be upgraded to

Hi I have just upgraded to Samba 3.0.0 and have found a problem with Office 2000 running on Windows 2000. Files opened in Word or Excel open fine and can be saved once without a problem but the action of saving sets the read only attribute of the file and so subsequent saves do not work. The only way round this is to close the file, go to Explorer and select the properties of the file and then un

I'm having a problem that I've seen people talk about in the list archives. Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions that work. It is a documented bug and I've added my story to it. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2346 I'm posting my problem here as well because it is causing me some serious grief. For the past few months I have been working towards

Hi, I am experiencing the problem as described in http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/kerberos.html#id2562652 Unfortunately the remedy/workaround as described there does not work in the more general case of ACLs. Problem description: - User A owns file F. - User B has rw access to F via a user ACL - Group G has rw access to F via a group ACL - User B edits the excel file F - User

Hello Fellow Samba Users! I have an issue that I have been trying to understand for a while, and I have narrowed it down to different "vers=" mount types. I have only seen this issue manifest itself on Linux clients (Archlinux) running Microsoft Office in excel (Not that I have tried a million others). A year or two ago, I thought I solved it by disabling oplocks, or at least messing

hi, we're using a samba-server over DSL using openVPN and the speed is very good at browsing directories and quite OK at loading/saving files except for word & excel where it takes about 20-30 seconds to save even a small file. which is no wonder because the following happens in log.smbd when i click "save" in word, it obviously checks for a bazillion tmp- and lockfiles (

I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

Hi! Maybe you can help me, would be very nice! I'm new to the list and I'm very glad that it exists... A week ago we migrated to samba and since then it's taking very long to save a 1,8MB excel document. On fast ethernet it takes us about 10 seconds, on wireless lan it can take up to a minute, although transferring the same amount of data from the very same machine, that is

Dear R Discussion List, I would like to save my data as a xlsx file. But at first I need to split it and then save each series into a Excel column. Please take a look at the following code: dados <- data.frame(matrix(c("2012-01-01","2012-02-01", "2012-03-01","2012-04-01","2012-05-01","2012-06-01",

Hi there, I'm having exactly the same problem. If using samba-3.0.13 without ACL's, everything goes perfect. ACL's on causes the file to get marked read only. Applied the Patch for MS Excel... No results. Any ideas? If you need any info, please ask. Best Regards, Bruno Guerreiro -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Vidican [mailto:nvidican@wmptl.com] Sent: ter?a-feira, 12 de

Since applying the two patches you emailed me (one for cpu load, one for MS Excel issues): All is working fine now except MS Word; don't know if it's entirely related or a separate issue all together, but figured I'd post the details and see if you can think of anything; here's the behaior: Word (apparently) creates a "~384somerandomnamefile.tmp" when a user saves, the
