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 again! Yesterday I wrote to this list complaining that I could not install Excel 97. I have now succeeded. The trick was NOT to run "install.exe", but to unpack xl97_1.cab and run the acmsetup.exe in there, like so: "wine -- acmsetup.exe /T excel97.stf" (I think that excel97.stf existed in the first cab-file as well.) The installer will ask for a few files that all can

All, The system is FC2 with wine 20050211 installed. The win environment is a native win98 partition. A boot of the native partition runs excel 97 w/o issue. Attempts to run excel under wine result in the excel splash screen being locked in the forground window and no access to exel. The only way out is to kill all wine pids. As per the notes dcom98.exe is successfully installed. (as a note

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

Hi again Sam, Sorry for not replying sooner. I have been ignoring everything for a while to work on the AMMP analysis tool and the continuing saga of migrating the legacy AMMP data. Our consultant has written some programs that take a VERY long time to run :( Anyway, I now know Java and a certain amount of JSP. I hope to be able to get around to this soon. It is all a bit hard now with our

I have a small business client with a new samba file server. It's CentOS 4.2 and Samba samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2. When they save open Excel files from Windows, they are prompted to overwrite the existing file. I mean, when they click the little disk icon or use Ctrl-S or File--Save. Excel would normally just write over the file, not check with an "are you sure?" prompt. But that's

A rather distressing timestamp issue (to multiple users here). Anyone seen similar behavior or have a suggestion/solution? Problem: Opening and closing an excel file (no changes/keystrokes to file) on the Samba server causes the file to be saved with time stamp of closing.

Has anyone seen file corruption with Excel 97 SR1, on Samba? Scotty (scott@dork.com) is running 2.0.7 on SCO 5.0.4 on a Compaq Proliant 800, compiled on SCO 5.0.5 box. He writes, on comp.protocol.smb: > Oh dear. If this is the case does that mean my clients can't use Excel > 97 SR1 on Samba or is there a workaround? At the moment some of my > clients users are saving files to their C

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine. Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which

Hi everyone, I have a problem on samba running on RHEL 3 kernel 2.4.21 with RHEL 3 samba packages - samba-3.0.7-1.3E.1.

This same problem does not occur on the [homes] share (in every test untill now it never

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

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.

Hi everyone, Just today one of our users informed me that a file she was working on in Microsoft Excel 97 got corrupted. She was working on the file directly on our server, which is running Samba 2.2.3a compiled using gcc-3.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.17-xfs and XFS-based filesystems.
