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, My user always report that they have problem with Excel file, they sometimes cannot save the file and excel reported "File did not save" message. I have no idea what is the problem.

I recently installed Excel 2003 in Wine 1.0, it works well, but I can't save anything as Excel claims the disk is full. I even tried to run it as root, but that didn't work out too well. The messages are "The disk is full" followed by "Document not saved" I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and I have the following DLL overrides installed in Wine: Code: riched20, native,

I have had the same problem: Shared files, not owned by the user in question, were being deleted and re-written upon saving the file. Because Excel only gives user (not group) permission, it will muck up access for other users in the group. In my case, I was not enforcing anything (when the problem occurred) and my .conf only had the bare minimum of information, I also used method 3, but put a

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

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

Hello Everyone! Perhaps some of you have some advice for dealing with this problem? I've done quite a bit of googling on this one, but I can't find anything useful. Ever since I started using Samba as PDC, I have had this problem: when users merely open MS-Excel files on samba shares, the file's Last-Modification date is incremented to the current time. I have seen similar

Hello, does anybody here know the exact meaning of "numopen" in the open/close file log messages? Does it mean the number of open sessions on the file: - at all? - per user? - per client? Sometimes numopen is greater than zero ofter the last user has closed as file. Is this an error? Here an extract of <hostname>.log --------------------------------- [2001/10/31 08:57:24, 2]

I have a client who used to have an NT server, we replaced it with Gentoo Linux and Samba v3.0.9 and they are now having what appears to be some sort of file-sharing issue with Excel. When a user opens an Excel file on the file server it opens properly, no errors or warnings of any kind. But when they try to save the file, Excel warns them that "the file may have changed by someone

Hi, all, I'm trying to use RODBC to read data from Excel. However, I'm having trouble converting missing values to NA and rather perplexed by the output. Below illustrates my problem: ## DATA - copy to Excel and save as "tmp.xls" ## tmp.xls!Sheet1 x 0.11 0.11 na na na 0.11 ## tmp.xls!Sheet2 x 0.11 0.11 na na na na 0.11 ## R Code read.xls <- function(file, sheet =

I’m trying to export a file from R to excel using the xlsReadWritePro function and I keep getting the error below. I get the same error when I use the oledatetime function. My current date format is mm/dd/yyyy, which is how I want it in excel. Also is there anyway to export different datasets to multiple sheets similar to the ods function in SAS? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

Hi, i'm using read.xls, and it counts more rows in my Excel than I really have. i've used both: especie26 <- read.xls("especie26cargar.xls") datos26 <- read.xls("especie26cargar.xls", header = TRUE, as.is = FALSE, na.strings = "NA", skip = 0, check.names = TRUE, fill = FALSE, strip.white = FALSE, blank.lines.skip = TRUE) when i

Dear list members I am pleased to annonce that I have just finished a native Excel reader/writer. It's wrapped up in two packages: either "xlsReadWrite" (open source) or the slightly beefed-up "xlsReadWritePro" (shareware). Working with Excel data is now as easy as writing read.xls and write.xls.

Hello everyone, What is the simplest, most RELIABLE way to import data from MS EXCEL (.xls) format to R? In the past I have used the read.xls() function from the xlsReadWrite package, however, I have been wrestling with it all afternoon long with no success.

As part of my project to put different types of results into worksheets, I would like to be able to put an auto-generated methods section. If I compose in RWinEdt, read into R, and use write.table with a .txt file extension, what I get out has line-breaks that correspond to those I put in in the first place. If I do the same thing but write.xls with .xls extention, I get an Excel worksheet

DeaR all, I'd like to know how to create an Excel file with multiple spreadsheets from R. I searched the help files and found [1] but it is not what I want to do. Let's say I have a data frame called DF as in the following code # Some data set.seed(123) ID<-sample(5,100,replace=TRUE) X<-rnorm(100) Y<-rpois(100,10) Z<-X*Y DF<-data.frame(ID,X,Y,Z) str(DF) I'd like to
