Hello all, I'm still having some odd problems with my samba setup. An NT 4.0 SP3 workstation running MS Word 97 SR-1, and a Solaris 2.6 machine running Samba 1.9.18p10 yields this problem: Any user creates a new document. They save and close that document, everything works fine. They re-open the document, and make some changes. They then click the close "X" on the title

Hi all, I have a bug with Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian GNU/Linux (custom 2.4.20 kernel with aacraid support (DELL PowerEdge 1650 with RAID mirror, etc)): Some users have, SOMETIMES, a READ ONLY set on files, where no one except them use this files. I'm in oplocks=false because of MS-Excel 97 issues, and, no need of fast performances at the moment (<10 users). I put a /home/public

Found this issue in the list archives, with no resolution. I think I found one. We were having this exact problem, and we resolved it by removing \*.doc\*.DOC\ from our smb.conf "veto oplocks" list, and adding \*.tmp\*.TMP\.

I have been reading through the WINE documentation for the last week or so and have been unable to solve my problem with Word 97. The OS is Redhat 6.2 single boot without Windows installed on any partition.

I have a very strange problem, which no one has been able to fathom to this point so I'm hoping that someone here may have encountered something similar. I'd better note down some background details first. Relevant machines involved: Win2K Adv. Server SP3 (acting as Active Directory primary) Win2K Pro SP3 (authenticates against Win2K server above) WinXP Pro SP1 (authenticates against

I have just got word 97 working with wine. The key to it was using winetools. The versions I have used are: winetools - 2.1.1-jo wine - 20050111 Both were installed from rpm files onto my Fedora Core 2, Althlon 1.2 GHz, 256 MByte, xorg 6.7.0-14, GForce2, Nvidia driver version 6629.

Hi, I am running word 97 under codeweavers wine on a suse 6.4 system. Word loads fine and I can use almost all of its functionallity. The problem is that when I type, I can't type using the Arial font. Characters typed in Arial only show up in the "online layout" view.

Hi, I'm running wine 20010112 compiled from sources, installed under suse 6.2. I have an installed win98 partition with word 97. When I run Word the document text (new and existing documents) is very small and the escape length is zero (all characters appear on top of each other). As a sanity check, notepad seems to work fine. Menus and toolbars also display OK. I've checked google and

Hi, This is working out great except for one minor detail ;) I'm using Wine 0.9.29 with WineTools 0.9. I installed all the software required (with winetools this works great)... I then installed Word 97 SR-1 without a problem... The only thing wrong: When I try to open de VB editor I get the message "Unable to open macro storage". Now this error can come from: 1. Corrupt

Question for Everyone, We are running 1.9.18p8 on hpux 10.20. This particular machine has a directory called docommon that is writable by anyone. The problem we are having is that whenever someone opens a file with word 97, then saves it, they own the file and the permissions are -rw-r--r--. Thus, no one else can open the file. How can we make the files keep the -rw-rw-rw setting? Please

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

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.

Thank you for answering. I am testing Samba 3.0.1Pre1 on RH9 . MS Word 97 keeps opening already opened files without sending any warning as it would normally do when accessing W2K servers. Same program , same files behave differently with Samba and W2K. However, I found that Powerpoint is nevertheless able to sense correctly the situation by always giving such warnings - " test.ppt is
