Hi,

i would tell you about a great problem for me.
We have set up a win2003 stadard server. We have activated File server
for macintish so well.
Macintish can connect to win2003 with afp and smb. Ok well.
But we are in great problem, i describe you some details:

there are Mac A and Mac B with smb network sharing to Server in win2003.
Mac A create a excel file on server, close excel than i modify the file
with mac B, no problem for now. But i i create a excel file on desktop
of Mac A, then i drag and drop it in server 2003, i open the file form
Mac B but i cannot more saving the file, and excel give the file another
name like AGAGAAHS, so random name.
I don' know this happen, i'm in trouble and i cannot find a solution,
someone can give me some help?
Are win2003 and Os x incompatible? I never seen this problem in the
past. New tecnology is not so easy like someone can tell.

Best regards

Xero
