Well, I have setup the walkaround. I disabled oplocks on the share were the excel files are and the problem is gone. I am running a newer version of samba on a CentOS 3.5 machine and it does not have this problem. I will be upgrading this rh9 server very soon.
Thanks to those who tried to help me. Dom On 8/23/06, Dominic Iadicicco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok, I have more info on this problem. On my version of this problem anyway. It's a weird Problem. From what I see. The owner of group doesn't get this error when they are saving files to this share. The other users are in the group, they are using the group as their primary group but when they save it pop up with the "the file ...xls has been saved.................." Now after they choose to over write the changes and if they keep the file open they can continue to make saves without the popup error. Once they close the file and reopen it and try to save, They get the error again. After a change is made no matter who makes the change the group owner never receives this error.
