We've fixed several bugs w.r.t. Excel integration since 3.0.10.
I'd suggest testing the latest stable release (3.0.24) and seeing
if you can reproduce the problem.

[Samba] AutoCAD / file lock problem / Samba 3.0.10

Please do not consider my former post regarding that subject: the 
problem was due to BitDefender anti-virus program. Since we disabled the 
scanning of dwg files the problem is gone. Sorry for disturbing the list.


Best regards

[Samba] AutoCAD / file lock problem / Samba 3.0.10

[Marc Rechté]

Hi,

I am facing a similar problem to what I faced sometime ago with Excel 11
when saving a modified xls file on a smb share: the application was
saying the file is already used by another user (although this was not
the case). The Excel problem was solved by adding a registry string
somewhere in Excel registry key (documented in the Microsoft knowledge
base).

Now we are facing the same problem with AutoCAD. After having loaded
one's file for editing, it complains that the file is already used when
trying to save it. If trying several times to save the file, it will
eventually get through and save it without complaining !

Seems there are several file lock problems with AutoCAD when searching
the list archives.

Is there a solution, either in the Windows registry or in the smb.conf a
solution to that problem ?

This is a serious problem at my client's site especially they mostly use
AutoCAD as their primary business tool...

Many thanks for any help.

Regards
Marc.

Sorry to have disturbed the list for that problem that seems not related 
to Samba. We discovered that BitDefender antivirus "real time" 
protection is the cause. We are going to submit the issue to them.
