Dear all, I am new to this, I apologise if I am using this list improperly... I'm experiencing an oplock problem since installing windows 2000 service pack 4. The problem was not solved by upgrading from Samba 2.2.3a to 3.0.0 rc4 When I open an excel file from the windows environment no oplock is activated. This causes the problem that when I save the file I get a standard "do you want to overwrite" dialogue. Once the file's been saved once, the oplock kicks in "EXCLUSIVE+BATCH" and all is fine. (MS Word doesn't have the problem). I don't understand how oplock works, and why it's not locking the file to me as a user when I open it, but only when I save it. Can someone let me know where I might learn about oplocks or explain what the problem is so I might solve it? I've got 500 points (maybe more if it's complicated) running on this on experts exchange if anyone wants to answer it there: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_20749863.h tml Do I need to subscribe to the list to get an answer? Many thanks in advance,
