Office 2000 documents and Samba

[Nelson Garcia]

I'm only guessing but, could this be a permissions problem?

I know that MS Office tries to create a temporary working copy of the file
when you open a document.

However, in my setup at home the files open without any problem as <read
only> when a user does not have write permission.  I'm also using 2.0.7.

Aloha,
Nelson
