[Samba] Excel error

[Dominic Iadicicco]

Well,

I have setup the walkaround.  I disabled oplocks on the share were the excel
files are and the problem is gone.
I am running a newer version of samba on a CentOS 3.5 machine and it does
not have this problem.  I will be upgrading this rh9 server very soon.

Thanks to those who tried to help me.

Dom
