"File being modified" Win2000

[Doug Douglass]

David,

Is this file some type of MS Office document? I suspect it is, in which case
I'm not certain that any combination of samba locking settings will solve
your problem.

Look for any temp files in the directory with the file being opened (similar
in name to the file to be opened, but obviously a wierd name). If one (or
more) are there, then either the file is still in use by this other person,
or the application did not exit properly and clean them up.

HTH,
Doug
