[Samba] W2K Office97 File Open or Save problem

[Geoff Williams]

Hi all

I have a Samba 2.2.2-3.2mdk build running on 8.1 Mandrake. All the Win9x
clients work fine. The Win2k clients also work fine except that from
within Word or Excel they can't use file open or file save. When trying
to open or save a file on a drive that is mapped to the Samba share then
the app says that the user does not have enough privileges on drive x:

The file can be opened by using explorer or my computer and double
clicking.

Anyone have any ideas. I include my smb.conf below.
