Here is the story. A .xlsx Excel file from Office 2007. The file is under a samba share. I'm trying to open it from a Windows 2003 terminal server session with Office 2003 + compatibility pack.
What it works: - copying that file to the local desktop and open it. Office 2003 converts it to a readable format. - Modify the document and change file name and copy it back to the share. So modify and write permissions are set. What it doesn't work: - Try to open it directly from the samba share. However Word documents from Office 2007 can be open from the samba share and converted on the fly. I have read somewhere in a blog where a guy had issues with Excel in Samba shares (only with Excel). Is it a known bug?
