Hello all,
My network users are receiving an error when they try to save changes
to an
execl file that is stored in a samba share. The error is "The file
filename.xls may have been changed by another user since you last
saved it.
In that case, what do you want to do? save a copy or Overwrite
changes. Now
they can all read and write to this share and it only happens with excel
files so far. Word docs and others saves do not generate this
error. Now
Microsoft claims this is a feature but I have not been able to
generate it
with a peer to peer share I have setup between two winxp machines. It
only
happens when they try to save to any share on the samba domain. This
server
is running RH9 with samba 2.2.7a. The clients are winXP Pro Srv2 with MS
office/Excel 2002. Is this a known issue with this old version of
samba? Is
this a samba issue?
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly
appreciate
it.
Also if you need any more info on the setup please let me know.
Try this KB article from MS & see if it fits.

Worked for me a while back. Has to do with network and filesystem
latency issues with excel timestamp checking.
Regards, Doug
