[Samba] samba 3 : Can't open files from share

Hi, 

I have somewhat successfully got Samba working where as users can map
the drives to their win2k/xp workstations and wrote to the folders
they are given permissions to.  They can write to the folder, delete
folders, write files, delete files, view the file listing, however,
they can't open files.  For instance, if there is a word document,
they can't just double click on the share and work on the file right
off of the share.  They have to go through the trouble of dragging the
file to their desktop, make their changes and then copy it back
overwriting whatever changes they made before.  Is there an entry in
the smb.conf file that I'm missing?

thanks in advance,

Phill
