[Samba] Excel opens files as read-only

Hello!

A few users on my network has complained about Excel opening files as
read-only. What is weird is that the files aren't. I can open such a file using
notepad and write to it, but when the same file is opened in Excel, Excel says
it's read-only.

Anyone know what the problem is? Workstations run WinXP and office is 2k3.
These files are shared between many users, but I don't think it's a locking
problem, because I checked that no one else was accessing the files at the same
time.

Regards,
Edvard
