Lawson,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply. A couple of follow-up points:<br>
<br>
1. wine is being run from root<br>
<br>
2. many apps seem to be able to perform writes without the issue<br>
<br>
3. it appears both excel and word have the problem<br>
<br>
(ps I tried to change the mount permissions and was unable to effect them
at all.)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dan<br>
