Oh, I forgot to mention, I am using the latest version of wine from the Wine repositories. Version 1.3.13 at the time of writing. I hear I shouldn't need DCOM from Winetricks any more as Wine has a native version... but as Object Linking in LotusSmartsuite still doesn't seem to work, I guess it's not quite up to date enough. Has anyone got this working yet? I can even attach a WordPro and a 123 file which are linked with an object as an example for anyone that has LotusSmartsuite under Wine (or otherwise) installed. Thank-you kindly.
