Hi. Samba 2.2.7a VMS 7.3-1 Win98 client (not SE or ME) I connect to my "user" directory on the server.
I can "see" all files in Windows Explorer. I can "type" and "edit" from a DOS window. I can "open" a PS file in Ghostview. I can "open" a PDF file with Acrobat Reader. I can *not* open the file with Notepad or Wordpad. (The message points against some protection problem, have cheched the files on VMS side, and no differense there.) Now, if I move the file (drag-n-drop in Win Expl) to a directory with a name of less then 8 char, I *can* open the file with Notepad or Wordpad. Does *some* applications have problems with >8char directories using SAMBA ? In the error message from Notepad and Wordpad, the directory name are in the crippled "~" format, if it does any differense. Jan-Erik Söderholm.
