Hi John
You were correct, once I had added "writeable = yes" in the [windows]
section, everything was OK.
I had already set 'chmod 777 windows', but this didn't automatically make
the folder writeable from windows. Care still has to be taken with group
permissions etc. so that files generated on the Linux box are read/writeable
from windows (if that is required).
Thanks to everyone who replied.
Neil

hi,
a couple of things, (not wrong just different)
you seem to repeat a whole heap of setting this might confuse things

I think you need writeable = yes the default is no
also check the unix permissions on /home/windows
Have fun,
