> As for the "why" part, I couldn't say. SAMBA is straddling a cultural divide. Oddities like this are to be expected. When it's open from the Unix drive, Excel apparently can't tell that it's the file it has open. Since WINDOWS routines have canonicalizers that don't know from Unix, this isn't terribly surprising. > Is the case correct? Given Unix is case-sensitive and Windows isn't, it may be IMPOSSIBLE to have case correct ! Does it work if the file is vopu.xls? Or VOPU.XLS ? If originally created/named from Windows? From Unix? You could SAVE AS $filename=~ s/(\d*)[.]/++$1.'.'/e; to avoid this sort of problem. If you used the modules Andy mentioned, you could run the script on the Unix side.
