[Samba] W2K Office97 File Open or Save problem

[Geoff Williams]

Thanks for the response. It wasn't a rights issue. I had a veto files =
/.*/ for the Mac files (the file space is shared with Netatalk) and that
was what was preventing Word and Excel from opening files from the
server - only on the Windows 2000 clients though.

I have changed the veto files = to the exact file names.
