Hi All, All right we did the data server, and it almost works. Here is the problem First everyone can log in and see their stuff. In Win NT Explorer I can right click and create a new Excel Document, call it foo.txt I then double click it and it works like a charm, excel opens and I can modify it, save it.. New Scenario Open Excel, try to save it to Samba Share and it says "You do not have permission to open this directory see the owner" This is for all shares including personal shares where I own the directory. Any ideas? Directory perms are set on /home/ShProj 777 root root. I really need this to work. Thanks a million This is version 2.07. I saw all of the posts for version 2.04 my smb.conf file --snip # # Steven M.
