Check the permissions on the file under linux. also check your share in the smb.conf
file, make sure it hasn't got writable=no etc.

Subject: [Samba] Strange behaviour with M$ WORD 97 under Win 2K
Hi all,
I searched thru excellent http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&r=1&w=2
(samba ML archive...) answer to my questions.
I asked Google too.
Both doesnt know about my problem. That's why I finaly decided to polute
samba ML :-(
Here's the environment: a Linux Box under Debian Woody (stable, nothing
compiled by hand EXCEPT KERNEL (aacraid issue..)):
master:~# uname -a
Linux master 2.4.20 #2 SMP Mon Dec 2 18:49:26 CET 2002 i686 unknown
master:~# smbd -V
Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian
The server is a DELL PowerEdge 1650 with Raid Mirror on two 18Gb disks.
Clients : DELL Inspiron 4150 under windows 2000 SP2
M$ OFFICE 97 (Word, Excel only)
M$ EURO PATCH applied (fonts with EURO symbol...)
All works fine with Samba except:
(1) profile and netlogon directories are stil in user homes. *I KNOW* I
have to re-read the samba howto collection, the soluce is in. Will be
fixed in a few. I already have netlogon ant profile shares enabled, but
client just dont use it ... You'll see this in my smb.conf above...
(2) _the real topic of this mail_ :
My users work with M$ Office 97, Word and Excel, only.
With Word 97, frequently, when a user tries to open a file in the
"public" share (see smb.conf above), he has a message telling him he is
on READ ONLY mode.
With smbstatus, I clearly see the user is on RDONLY mode on this file.
The problem is that nobody is using this file |-( except him.
I really suspect Word 97 (client side then) to be the origin of the
problem. I noticed Word 97 creates a temp file on opening, It is surely
used to notice others users the file is accessed?.. *but* when the file
is opened, this temp file isn't there?..
So?? Whats up??? Why a such message? really Dunno.
I think I'll have to dig around samba caching issue? or any timeout issue??
I'll really be glad if you could help me in any way. Thanks a lot!
Here's smb.conf, where you'll notice I disabled oplocks, because of data
corruption (filled a report in samba's bugtrack a month ago) with
excel/word files... :
