I tested unix charsets ascii, iso8859-1 and iso8859-15 with Samba and it did no use. I also tried win2k and nt server shares and they worked like a charm. It seems clear, that the problem I have is somewhere between Teamware Office and Samba server. Some exception that it cannot handle, perhaps. -- Pirkka -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
