I just loaded Office97Pro on my WinNTws40 box and Excell gets to the Samba
shares just fine. Even using a "u:\prj\essex.prj.cost.forecast.xls" long
filename.
BTW, I upgraded from OfficePro v4.3. and really like some of the fixed
stuff. I don't like the resultant bloat though. I had to get another 32MB
of RAM.
