I tried dragging a file to my desktop, opening and saving back to desktop works fine. Drag from desktop back onto folder via the file browser also works fine! So I guess nfs is okay? BTW chmod +w file.doc only changes permissions for owner and group - world is left untouched, not what I remembered, I guess some man reading coming my way. So now it seems what I have is an Openoffice problem. It writes odt files just fine via nfs but not doc files. Must be a micro$oft conspiracy. I'll take this off list as it does not appear to be a CentOS issue. Thanks for the help. Rob -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
