My client has created a Staff List of names, phone numbers, addresses and we store that as an Excel (2003) file in the Netlogon share on the server.

In Kix, I have a line (that works) that places the shortcut to the Excel file on each desktop

Code:
 

;******************** System Wide Staff List *********************
COPY "\\" + $HomeServer + "\Netlogon\" + $StaffListLnk $DocsPath + $UserID + $DeskTop + $StaffListLnk


In use, however, the users get a message that "Excel cannot access "Stafflist.xls". The document may be read only or encrypted"

Clearly there is a sharing error with the file and probably an Excel problem - not a Kix one.

However, I am sure others may have had a similar situation (publishing an employee directory) and I would be really interested in comment.
