my SAVE and SAVEAS function don't work

[sfawver]

we flipped the setting back and did some tests

this works

\\Sac-psas-01\econ\riskindex\Test.prg

but this still won't work.

\\Sac-psas-01\econ\Riskindex\Test.prg

my guy says if you have any other suggestions on settings in samba he could try them but they usually just leave everything on the defaults.

I assume that the folder is actually named "Riskindex" and not "riskindex"?

I'm testing with UBUNTU 10.10 and even if I turn on case sensitivity on SAMBA (by default, it's auto set to off for Windows clients), my EViews client can still save into a folder with mixed case names. This works even if I mix case (I'm using Windows 7, so not sure if Windows is fixing my case for me or not).

My samba settings:
case sensitive = yes
default case = lower
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes

i tried both: saving to a directory with a upper case letter in it and saving to a directory with all lower case. it still doesn't save when it has an upper case letter in the directory name (with the default samba settings).

this is what my guy had to say about your post.

Do this mean anything to you?

Just that he’s using a different backend OS (and most likely Samba version) than we are. We’re running Oracle Solaris 10, not Ubuntu Linux. If he’s curious, we’re running Samba Version 3.0.25a, if he wants to try to duplicate our environment…
