OK. I will do some tests myself. > It just happens that the owner of this thread described a behaviour of > Office software which I couldn't confirm on my own system.

I looked into samba sources and didn't find any way how client (i.e. Windows + Office) could see different filesystem, there is no API which would make this possibe. But I do not know samba sources well, so it's quite possible I'm wrong. I'll do the tests. -- Honza Houstek -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
