Thanks, but i had 'locking=yes' for two years now and had no problem, why now? the man page says: Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a specific service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption. You should never need to set this parameter. Default: locking = yes are you sure this is the right solutions ? ( and what does 'save as' has to do with locking ? ) thanks erez. "Geoffrey S.
