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?

Regards,

Miguel
