Thanks Bob

Unfortunately I have tried all manor of combinations of op locks, etc. and
nothing makes any difference. I don't think this is anything to do with
locking - when you change the read only bit in file properties on the
windows box there is nothing on the log, i.e. this happens totally on the
client and not on the server. This must be more to do with the way the
client is being advised of the status of the file after it is saved for the
first time.

I am not hopeful about this, as I can see similar posts about this in the
archive (relating to 2.2.8 as well) and no answers...........

Thanks

Nick

Hi,
I stopped having trouble with MS Office any version with oplocks turned off.
kernel oplocks = no
oplocks = no
level2 oplocks = no
