Apologies if this has been posted/answered before. I
have searched these boards and not found a satisfactory
solution, and read the faq's.

We have a domain of 50 computers all running with a PDC
running Linux/Samba with no problems. All the PC's are
running Win2000 with service pack 4, and Office 2K.

When a non-administrative user tries to download a file
from a website they get an immediate error saying that
the file is no accessible at the moment. However, when
an administrator logs on and accesses the file it
downloads and runs fine. I have tried making Everyone in
the Office security tab administrators but that doesn't
solve the problem. Office 2k on the WinME machines are
fine.

Any ideas? I don't want to make all the users
administrators as these PC's are in a university
Chemistry teaching lab and it will take only hours before
they are all messed up.

When the user downloads the file it downloads to a temporary location,
usually the same place as the temporary internet files. You should check
that the users have the necessary permissions to create files here.
