Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / November 2005._Files not closing properly on Win2K3 share
I have a number of users (OS X) connecting to a Windows 2003 server share via SMB://server/share. After any user edits a file, the file name is recreated in the directory with a ._filename. The issue here is when the user closes the file the ._filename does not close which leaves that file in an "open" state. Obviously this limits other users from editing/moving/deleting this file. I then open Computer Management/Shared Files/Open Files and see hundreds of these ._files open with the "Open Mode" set to "READ". Please help, this is becoming a real pain for the MAC users.

I believe this got fixed in 10.4. Paul Nelson, Thursby Software Systems, Inc. Is upgrading to 10.4 for $150.00 the only answer? If so, I guess we have to bite the bullet.

It depends on how many Mac users you support. > Is upgrading to 10.4 for $150.00 the only answer? If so, I guess we have to > bite the bullet.
