[Samba] acceess an excel files

[Jack Malone]

I took a lighting strike here monday nite on my novell server. I replaced 
that machine with suse linux 8.0 running samba. I have a foxpro database 
based account system that seems to work fine from the samba server, have 
disabled oplocks on the share for this. also on the same share I have some 
users that share some access an excel files that only one preson can get in 
the access files at a time, others that need to get in an just look at some 
info from the files can not open them of someone has them open for editing. 
gives error of can not lock file. is there a known fix for me to put 
something in the smb.conf file to fix this problem. I need the users to be 
able to view some tables to look up some info they need for other things 
from this files.

thanks.
I know in the hurry to get the new server up to replace old one I might 
have misses something. I can post smb.conf if need be.
