Ah, then I didn't understand you correctly. If you mounted a SMB share, then to emacs those should be local files. Please try the following: 1. Open a file on that share and edit it 2. M-x toggle-debug-on-error 3. Save if with `C-x C-s' 4. Poste the contents of the *Backtrace* buffer here > Are you using tramp for accessing the files? I could try that > tomorrow, without mounting it at all -- just accessing it directly. You can try, but working with files on a mounted smb share should work anyway... Bye, Tassilo
