Offline Files strange affiliation with Office 2003

Yes, it's another Offline Files problem. (Just as well Microsoft made
it so seamless and easy).

I have just started using Offline Files to sync my Vista Business
laptop to a Win2k3 server on our company LAN (domain). While everything
appears to work (no sync errors), when I go offline the only files
available are Office 2003 documents (*.doc, *.xls, etc). Other files
such as *.docx, *.xlsx, *.pdf, *.xps, *.zip are NOT available.

Properties on the 'missing' files show, in the Offline Files tab, "This
file is online" but the Always available offline box is ticked and
greyed. The Details tab shows Offline availability as "Not available".
A *.doc file shows the same Offline Files tab, but an Offline
availbility of "Always available".

This is not a caching issue (I have 40 GB of cache available and only
900MB in use), and I have enabled OpLocks via the registry.

Any ideas?

Whoops! My bad . I had set up the Oplocks on the laptop, not the
server. All is good now!
