Hi Al,

No message, at all. Two users can edit the same document at the same time!

Hi There,
We experienced the problem that some users were opening the same Excel
document on a CIFS share at the same time. One was using MS Excel, the
other one OpenOffice. This happend by accident. At the end, both
weren't able to save it.
What can I do to prevent that this happens again? Is this more an OO
issue or more related to CIFS?
Before, when the majority was using MS Excel, this problem never
occured, instead the user got an error message, that informed her/him,
that the document was already in use and it opened in read-only mode.
thanks alot!
We have a similar problem on a Samba environment (smb shares). OO does
not detect the user who has opened the document like M$O does. OO opens
a xls document but neither says it is used by someone else using
M$OExcel, nor does it say it is in read only mode. When OOCalc saves the
document, it reposts that it saved but does not. If both users now close
the xls then only the first one who opened it has the data saved.
Users using just OOCalc do not get the M$Excel type message that someone
else has the file open, and it can be opened in read only mode. Only the
one who opened first has the data saved. The other user believes it is
saved but on the next opening notices that only the changes of the other
user, who had it open first, had his/her data saved. It means OOCalc is
not aware of files being shared by multiple users. In modern office
usage it is a bummer, or is it a bug? Is it OO or Samba? It has been
like this the last 2 years at least.
:-(
