From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Not sure if this is a bug. But i'll mention it anyway. I have a homes share in my smb.conf: ------------------------------------ [global] workgroup = INW server string = INW Fileserver hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.0.0.1 security = user printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes encrypt passwords = yes printer admin = root sander [homes] comment = Home of %U valid users = %S browseable = no read only = no .... and some more shares -------------------------------------- When i open an MS Excel file from the [homes] share with a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine and MS Excel 2003 there is no problem. I can work in the file as usual. But when i hit the 'Save' button, MS Excel gives me a notification (in Dutch, so i don't have the exact translation) that 'the file could be modified by someone else' i can choose to 'make a copy of the file' or to 'overwrite the changes'. What is wrong here ? Is this some kind of bug? It only happens with Excel files ... not Word files or normal .txt files. Also .. when i hit the 'red cross' to close the Excel application and Excel asks me to save the document before exiting .. and i choose YES .. THAT works fine !!! But the 'Save' button itself (or 'File' menu 'Save') .. does not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above. Additional info:
Ok ... it's solved already .. it's a MS Excel bug .. fixed in Office 2003 SP3. How could i even doubt you guys ;) [url] http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491 [/url]
