------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 29 19:08:01 +0000 2008 ------- If we have two users A and B, both with OOo 3.0 opening a Microsoft .xls or .doc or whatever file on a Windows or Samba share, they can both open it R/W and neither will know the other has it open. Both can update/overwrite each others files and get no warning this has happened. Similarly, if user A has 00o 2.x, and user B has OOo 3.0, this behaviour is shown opening native ODF files or .xls, etc. files. User B opens the file as R/W, user A can also open the file R/W. Both can overwrite each others data and never know it has happened. If an Excel user has an .xls file open, the OOo 3.0 user can open the file R/W, make changes, but is then unable to save the changes without doing a Save As (shows general I/O error). When testing, I tried multiple settings for file locking with the Samba share, but was unable to come up with anything that would alleviate this behaviour. Standard setup for us is oplocks = yes, level 2 oplocks = yes, veto oplocks on .xls files (tried with this off and made no difference), strict locking=no (tried with this option as yes and made no difference), csc policy = manual --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
