[AccessD] AccessXP and Server 2003

I am finding I can only open one instance of particular A2K databases in W2003ES and Access 2003.  Whether this is the same problem is unclear, however if anyone has any tips how to allow multiple (same) versions of a database to open on the same desktop I'd be grateful.  Failing that I am going to have to code multiple same forms open in the database, although this looks like it might be a little easier to do then when I last had a go....(Reference: info on Microsoft how to do this and a working example there also)
I also find the shortcuts keys are unreliable in this environment.  (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Q, Ctrl-Alt-J on desktop shortcuts)  They seem to get confused between different version of access open....  I am not sure which is the culprit either!   (W2003ES or A2k3?)

  You question says Windows 2000 servers but your subject line says Server 2003.  Which one are you asking about?

  Has anyone encountered any problems running Win XP Professional & Office XP on desktops with Windows 2000 servers ?

  Has anyone had any problems with users being able to open a .mdb after moving the database to Windows Server 2003? I have set the permissions for both the folders and the database for full control individually for each of the 5 users involved. Three are able to use the database but two can't. Unless I missed an intermediate step each user was set up exactly the same way. 

  Using my VB6 application the error is "Could not use "; file in use". Opening with AccessXP "Could not lock file"


  The database was on a NT 4.0 server before and there was no problem in the connection being made and multiple users were no problem.

  The resident drive was mapped on the NT box and is mapped the same way on the 2003 box.

  Any suggestions are welcomed.
